Title: Jewish schools in Lower Silesia from 1945 to 1950 – educational establishments or premigration centres for young Jews?

Abstract:

Jewish schools began to appear in postwar Poland as early as 1945. From the very beginning, the Jewish community disputed their design, character and funding. The conflicting views were held by the faction of the Polish Workers’ Party, later transformed into the Polish United Workers’ Party, in the Central Committee of Jews in Poland and the Zionists. At the root was the question of the future of Jews in Poland: whether they should stay or leave the country and fight for the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine or participate in it after Israel was founded in May 1948. The socialists from the Polish Workers’ Party opted for instructing children to stay in Poland. They wanted to establish secular schools with Jewish as a medium of instruction and raise young Jews to be citizens of socialist Poland while keeping certain Jewish traditions. The Zionists demanded the Hebrew language, the prehistory of the Jews, Palestinian studies and the Bible be taught in schools so that students would be prepared for living abroad. All institutions tried to educate the young generation. School curricula and the education system helped parents and students to choose the path for the future.
