This article analyses the work of Herman Czerwiński as a leading theater critic of Gazeta Żydowska (Jewish Gazette), published by Jewish journalists under the control of the Nazis in 1940–1942 in the General Governorate for the Occupied Polish Region. To date, his contributions to the Gazeta Żydowska have received little scholarly attention, whether in publications about Jewish press or about Jewish theater during the Second World War. The authors of the article focus on Czerwiński’s opinions on the activity of Warsaw Ghetto theaters, his assessment of their repertoire policy, and his way of reviewing performances staged in the ghetto. The primary research method was quantitative-qualitative content analysis of all 279 editions of Gazeta Żydowska. In order to determine how Czerwiński was perceived in the ghetto, the research also included Gazeta Żydowska articles mentioning him, as well as diaries and memoirs of members of the Jewish intelligentsia. The research also reconstructed the critic’s earlier life, particularly his links with theater, based on pre-war publications from Polish and Jewish press.

This study analyzes the publication of the samizdat magazine Dialog, which offered a remarkably consistent and integrated diagnosis of contemporary Czech theatre in the 1970s. By identifying and critically reflecting on the theatre’s innumerable exceptional achievements and alternatives, against the background of its predominantly and unvaryingly average (and below average) offerings, the magazine searched for, formulated, and maintained the value criteria for both theatre criticism and the theatre arts. Despite the fact that after three years under trying circumstances the strength and resources of the editorial board and contributing authors were inevitably exhausted, the collection of texts presented by the magazine is undoubtedly one of the most relevant sources we have today on the theatre and productions of the period. The unsatisfactory state of other public professional critical platforms, as well as the many restrictions imposed on the daily press in the field of theatre arts, make the achievements of Dialog by comparison irreplaceable to historians today. In the broader context, the magazine can be seen as an attempt to distil the quintessence of the present through a cri tical reception of contemporary theatrical productions. A common leitmotif of Dialog, one that may be found in both its reviews and more comprehensive essays and studies, was an urgent expression of the inadequacy – or indeed the total absence – of stylistics in the theatre of its time.
