“THE TREASURE AND FUTURE OF THE NATION”: THE POLICY OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN LUBLIN TOWARD YOUTH IN THE YEARS 1944–1968

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the policy toward Jewish youth carried out by the main Jewish institutions operating in Lublin in the postwar pe- riod (until 1968), including the local representation of the Central Committee of Polish Jews (CKŻP) (1945–1950) and the Lublin branch of the Social and Cultural Society of Jews in Poland (TSKŻ), as well as the activities of local Zionist youth organizations. The paper presents the organizational structures of the youth-spe- cialized units operating within the aforementioned institutions, the formal and personal changes within them, as well as the local particularities of their activ- ity. The ideological assumptions of these organizations are analyzed and set in the context of the cultural debate over the possibility of rebuilding Jewish life in Poland: nusekh Poyln and yetsiyes Poyln.
