Obraz życia codziennego w Chełmie w 1928 roku na podstawie rubryki Fun Chełm un umgegent (Z Chełma i okolicy) publikowanej na łamach tygodnika „Chełmer Sztyme” (Głos Chełma)
Everyday life of Chełm in 1928 on the basis of “Fun Chełm un umgegent” – From Chełm and Its Neighbourhood, column published in the weekly Khelemer Shtime – The Voice of Chełm

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to outline everyday life of Jewish inhabitants of Chełm in 1928, on the basis of the column “Fun Chełm un umgegent” (From Chełm and Its Neighbourhood) published in the Khelemer Shtime (The Voice of Chełm) weekly. The newspaper was issued between 1924 and 1939, but for the purpose of this paper I have decided to focus on issues from one year exclusively – 1928. This restraint enables to examine magazine’s language and its perspective in the town’s depiction. Additional goal of this paper is to identify the possibility of the use of Yiddish press in developing a monograph, devoted to Jewish inhabitants of Chełm in the inter-war period, in the field of social history.
