Tożsamość wydobyta z archiwum
Identity Extricated From an Archive

Summary/Abstract: An archive of sorts can exist within one’s body, cf. memory or DNA. Hidden archive containing the knowledge of one’s ancestors can sometimes induce a change of identity. Some Poles with Jewish roots have gone the way of de-assimilation, or the reversal of assimilation. Almost never does it lead to de-Polonization. At present, virtually all Polish Jews exist as Jews due to the process of de-assimilation. In the paper, a list of circumstances facilitating the process is presented.
