Description
Until the Second World War, the non-Jewish audience for Jewish culture was very limited. In the 1970s Jewish themes were practically nonexistent due to the zeal of censorship. The 1980s were characterized by a gradual opening up to Jewish topics, and in the 1990s, after the collapse of the communist regime, Poland's borders were thrown open and the model of a democratic society receptive to other cultures was advocated. The development of an authentic contemporary Jewish culture will depend on the situation of the Jewish community in Poland
