Relacje niemiecko-polskie w rzymskokatolickiej parafii pw. Świętej Trójcy w Machlińcu w archidiecezji lwowskiej obrządku łacińskiego w przekazie ks. Władysława Krzystyniaka z 1922 roku
German-Polish relations in the Roman Catholic Parish of the Holy Trinity in Machliniec in the archdiocese of Lviv of the Latin rite in Rev. Władysław Krzystyniak’s account of 1922

Summary/Abstract: The history of the South-East Borderlands during the period of the Second Republic of Poland is still full of ‘missing pieces’, which are yet to be discovered. This also refers to research on the relations between nations living in this area before the Second World War. The following publication presents in detail the living conditions of the Germans and the Poles in the Roman Catholic parish in Machliniec near the town of Stryja in the archdiocese of Lviv in 1922, the parish where the former nation was in the majority. The article includes detailed information on their daily life, multifaceted references to the issues connected with the Roman Catholic Church, and above all the liturgy recited in national languages. There is also a good deal of information on the Polish community which had limited rights and liberties in the parish dominated by the Germans. The discussed publication consists mostly of the edition of the source account sent to the Metropolitan Curia in Lviv by the then priest in Machliniec Rev. Władysław Krzystyniak in 1922. The document was analysed and preceded by an editorial preface, which outlines the content of the text. In addition, numerous footnotes were added to it. It is also complemented by a short concept of Curia’s response, addressed to Rev. Krzystyniak, which – despite the fact that it didn’t survive in its entirety – is good proof that the issues raised by the author were noticed, not neglected. The edited document of Rev. Krzystyniak has not been published so far.
