Abstract:
Jews imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto pondered not only how to survive the present butalso the days to come. The day of liberation was calculated on the basis of rumours, interpretations of wartime developments, and Kabbalistic prophecies. In this paper, among differentnotions of the future expressed by the inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto, I focus especiallyon the perspective of Jews active in various parties and youth movements. I approach thequestion of what Jews thought about the future and what would lead to it within the broadercontext of the sociology of time. The primary source used in this paper is the Jewish underground press published in the Warsaw Ghetto.
