From Haskalah to Holocaust. If There Exists the Prose of Hebrew Revival Literature in Polish Translation? Statement of Research

Summary/Abstract: The paper proves that there exist cases of Polish translations of Hebrew revival literature, even though no official book translations are available. Novels and short stories by M. Z. Feierberg, J. Berditchevsky, H. J. Brenner, Sh. J. Agnon, A. Hameiri, H. Hazaz, D. Frischman, G. Schofman, A. Kabak and others have survived profusely in the Jewish-Polish press of the time. The paper also includes an index of stories discovered in the Polish language Jewish press. The query covered the writings from the late Haskalah period until the Holocaust time: from the assimilative weekly “Jutrzenka” (1861-1863) and “Izraelita” (1866-1915), through the “Moria” monthly (1903-1924), until the national-Zionist dailies that ceased to be published on the outbreak of World War II. Thus, we can conclude that a vast selection of stories is available for analysis, even though some important texts are still missing: neither D. Vogel’s nor U. N. Gnessin’s prose has been translated yet.
