Abstract

En 中文
During World War II, Palestine was one of the largest and most important centers of civilian and military life for Polish emigrants in the Middle East. This article examines the fate of emigrants from Poland (Poles and Polish Jews) in Palestine from 1939 to 1948. It explores the daily lives of Polish and Jewish refugees, their organizational activities, bilateral relations, and political sentiment before the establishment of the Jewish state. The policies of the great powers imposed a strong international context on Polish Jewish refugees, drawing their daily lives into the sphere of international politics. The article examines the relations between the refugees and representatives of the Yishuv, the authorities of the Polish Government in Exile in London, and the British Mandate.
