Palestyna na łamach „Małego Przeglądu”
Palestine in the "Mały Przegląd"

Summary/Abstract: Mały Przegląd is a supplement to the Polish-language Jewish daily Nasz Przegląd. It is a specific settlement because it is made up of letters and texts by young readers and reporters. Many aspects of the pre-war daily life, the world in which the children lived, are presented here differently than in journals addressed to the grown-ups and in publications for children written by professional writers. Palestine, too, is different than the country one could read about in other Jewish periodicals: a country—one of many—that you go to, but often also return, where oranges indeed grow as promised but there is also unemployment, where the women go not so much to work in the pardes (orchards), but as cooks, or simply looking for a husband. Where young boys do not go to work in kibbutzim but to learn in a good secondary school in Tel Aviv. The Shomers do not always ride with a song upon their lips sing but often with a longing for the families left behin. In other words, realism prevails over idealism, helping the reader to learn about some aspects of emigration that have been little known so far.
