Urban Onomastics in Białystok. On the Functions of Street Designations after the Nazi Renaming in 1942

Summary/Abstract: Street names not only have a topographical-spatial orientation function, but also reflect history and are a political and cultural tool. At the time of the National Socialist dictatorship, street and place names were changed in Germany. Also in the cities of then occupied Poland many streets and squares were renamed during the Second World War. The article aims to present the manner in which streets and squares in Białystok were named during World War II. An attempt is made to determine whichfunctions can be observed in “new” urban designations.
