Reprezentacja żydowskich mieszkańców miasta w samorządzie warszawskim: lokalny kontekst historyczny i próba ogólnej charakterystyki na podstawie sprawozdań prasowych
Representation of Jewish Inhabitants of the City on Warsaw Local Government: Local Historical Context and an Attempt at a General Picture Based on Newspaper Reports

Summary/Abstract: The source materials for the text are Warsaw newspapers of various political hues and local government periodicals. Due to the status of the capital city, the elections to the local government, while overshadowed by the parliamentary elections, were of exceptional importance for the young state. Their results aroused broad interests and elicited commentaries in the press. The author presents chronologically the results of the successive elections and the composition of the special administration, analysing the composition of the council of the city of Warsaw and naming representatives of local Jewish communities elected to that council based on democratic electoral regulations. She also mentions the voting pacts being formed in the local government forum. Special attention was paid to the last election, held in 1938, whose results were favourable to Bund, with quotes from writers interpreting that outcome. Appended to the article is a list of councillors representing Jewish milieux and parties, elected for each term.
