By reaching for the collections of Jewish underground press preserved in the Ringelblum Archives, the authoress makes a review of statements about Poland and Poles published in individual papers in the years 1939-1942. She presents the position of individual organizations which published the journals, follows the evolution of the approach to the subject over time, points to differences of view within one and the same organization but also attempts to identify the principal dividing lines between various groups in this regard. The text is a transcript of an address delivered by the authoress on the 51st anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Despite their general nature, her findings remain valid to this day.

The article looks at the assessment of the socio-political nature of ongoing war in the underground press of the Warsaw Ghetto. The subject matter was in the centre of disputes particularly before the German attack against the Soviet Union, when two approaches to these problems evolved among the Jewish Left underground. The proponents of the one approach invoked the Communist concept of intra-imperialist war (to which the workers' movement should respond with the so-called revolutionary defeatism), while the advocates of the other school of thought saw the war as a clash between a camp of totalitarian fascist regimes and Western democracies. One additional contribution to the dispute, which went beyond that division, was the approach expounded in the press by anti-Stalinist Communists invoking Leon Trotsky's ideals, who formulated the theory of the so-called Jacobin war as the recommended groundwork of the activities of the workers' movement in democratic countries.

Although numerous writings have referred to Polish-Jewish relationships since the end of the Second World War, they have mainly focused on the Polish reaction toward the Jews, whilst the Jewish position toward the Polish society was somewhat neglected. The following paper is aimed to assess the Polish image held by Polish Jews during the war as it is reflected in the Jewish Underground Press in Warsaw. Based on articles published by political parties, youth movements and underground organizations from the Warsaw Ghetto the way Jews viewed, defined and thought about their surroundings during the war is uncovered. Tracing these images raises questions regarding Jews, Poles and their relationship.

German issues were widely addressed in 'Prostokat', a magazine published by the Democratic Party in Krakow in 1940-1945, and 'Dziennik Polski', an underground daily published by the Polish Democracy Party. These included various studies on the presence and future of Germany. Different solutions were proposed in different areas, e.g. responsibility of Germans for the outbreak of the Second World War, post-war Germany, future Polish-German border, German minority in liberated Poland.

Tygodnik Mazowsze, an illegal periodical of the opposition concentrated around the then-banned “Solidarity” trade union, was one of the most important opinion-forming magazines during the martial law and the years that followed (1982-1989). It was available throughout Poland. Its circulation would reach even few thousand copies. The weekly served as a platform for discussion and polemics on the most important issues for the opposition at the time: the organizational model, the role of the Catholic Church, the attitude towards the communist government. It was also a forum where many different concepts of what the activities of the banned “Solidarity” trade union should look like clashed.
