Ludność żydowska na Dolnym Śląsku po II wojnie światowej (1945-1950): Kilka uwag dotyczących stanu badań i nowych perspektyw badawczych
The Jewish population in Lower Silesia after World War II (1945-1950): some remarks on the state of research and new research perspectives

Summary/Abstract: The settlement of the Jewish population in Lower Silesia is an important component of the postwar history of Jews in Poland. It is also a notable part of the narrative surrounding the so-called Recovered Territories. The article presents the state of research on the history of the Jewish population in Lower Silesia immediately following the end of World War II. The author puts forward the thesis that scholars are somewhat less interested in the history of the community of Jewish survivors living in Poland after 1945, despite the fact that the number of publications on this topic has increased significantly in recent years. The research problem is an attempt to show new trends and viewpoints, as well as a recommendation to identify several research areas that may prove enormously useful in the development of further studies on the topic. In addition to noting the most important publications relating to the immediate postwar period (1945–1950), current research trends as well as new perspectives and challenges facing scholars are discussed.
