Przerwane tradycje? Żydzi w wielkomiejskich samorządach Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej: Kraków, Poznań i Warszawa
Broken traditions? Jews in metropolitan governments of the Second Republic of Poland: Kraków, Poznań i Warszawa

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt at comparing the structure of participation of the representatives of various Jewish communities in local governments of three metropolitan regions of the Second Republic of Poland. The author analyses the status of the Jewish representatives as well as the differences in legal organisation, traditions, perceptions and attitudes of local communities which were the outcome of different past experience under the partition of Poland. She presents the development of the condition of local governments, stressing the importance of persistent regionalisms, discusses the influence of the political situation of the country for the local governments and communities, with particular stress on the increasing interventionism as well as the interdependence between the tendency to unify the regions and to unify the administrative system, and the condition of Jewish representatives in local governments.
