The education of children and youth of Jewish originin Legnica in the years 1946–1968

Summary/Abstract: The Jewish school system in Legnica began to be formed as early as 1946, before the introduction of legal acts meant to regulate the relevant organizational principles. The need to establish educational centers soon after the end of the war appeared as a result of the strong migration movement and arrival in the city of a large group of Jews from Wrocław. Legnica became, after Wrocław, Dzierżoniów and Wałbrzych, another place of permanent or temporary abode for people of this nationality. Jews – as the only minority – created a school education system in Legnica, which covered both elementary school education (there were three schools of this level in 1947) and the secondary one as well. Apart from this, Jewish children were taken care of as there was pre-school education offered to them (the kindergarten was of the national character until 1955). In 1949, following an inspection by officers of the school inspectorate, it was ordered to close down a denominational school and a Hebrew one. In consequence, there remained only one school, named after J. Perec, in the educational market of Legnica. In 1959, there was established secondary grammar comprehensive school no. 3 in the city, where Jewish was the language of instruction. The complex of Jewish schools functioned until 1968. Then, political reasons and the migration of Jews connected with the atmosphere following the „march” events brought about its liquidation
