Description
Summary:This article discusses Mieczysław Abramowicz’s book Teatr żydowski w Gdańsku 1876–1968 (Jewish Theater in Gdańsk 1876-1968; Gdańsk 2022), which presents a panorama of the amateur and professional theater activity of the Jewish community in Gdańsk and its neighboring counties. The reviewer emphasizes the scope of research underlying the book: a many-year, wide-ranging project involving archive research and interviews with witnesses. The publication draws on diverse German-, Yiddish-, Hebrew-, and Polish-language sources. The reviewer situates the Abramowicz’s narrative against the background of previous texts on Jewish theater and highlights the significance of his scholarly findings for further research into various aspects of Jewish theater culture in Poland.
