Kalendarium życia kulturalnego Łodzi luty–marzec 1945
Calendar of cultural life in Lodz February March 1945

Summary/Abstract: This publication – an extract from Calendar of Cultural Life in Lodz between 1945 and 1946 (Kalendarium łódzkiego życia kulturalnego w latach 1945–1946) – focuses on the period of February and March 1945, i.e. the months during which cultural life was reorganised after more than five years of German occupation and Nazi terror. In the history of Lodz, this was a peculiar period – in the face of the virtually complete annihilation of Warsaw, Lodz became the home for some of the Communist offices and was visited by prominent representatives of intellectual and cultural life. They were offered apartments and jobs in the state-controlled press and hastily establi¬shed cultural institutions and universities. Through a detailed denotation of facts related to history, politics, and intellectual and artistic life, the author of the text makes an attempt to present the mechanisms and the dynamics of the earliest stage of the cultural and ideological revolution implemented in Poland between 1945 and 1948.
