Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the activity and attitudes of the youth in public life in the Congress Poland during the First World War. The basis of the sources is the set of the printed ephemera, which were released in this time by young publishers, including the youth organisation. Regardless of the politic preferences, the youth organisations expressed the belief of the signifi cant mission of the generation growing up during the war. The war context was often the reason of the military contents’ big presence, like the context of the statehood building justifi ed the national or sometimes even nationalist messages.
