Abstract:
The article analyses the reception of the theatrical adaptation of Shalom Asch's Kiddush Ha-Shem (directed by Michał Weichert) in the Jewish press in Poland. It shows how the production was received in national and local Yiddish periodicals and Jewish journals and magazines published in Polish. It reviews the ways the Jewish critics evaluated the artistic dimension of Weichert's production, focusing mainly on the director's innovative concept of staging a novel. The article is also an attempt to answer the question as to what extent the anti-Semitic sentiment, which grew stronger in Europe in the interwar period, influenced the reception of the Kiddush Ha-Shem in the Jewish press in Poland.
