Abstract:
The question of finding and exchanging apartments, which were an inseparable part of the process of establishing the ghettos, has only been studies on a quite limited scale. In my article I tried to trace back the process of ghetto formation in Kraków and Warsaw from this angle precisely. The reason I selected these two cities was that each of them was assigned a different rank by the occupying authorities and a radically different attitude to the Jewish communities of these towns in the early months of World War II. The article is based on wartime and post-war accounts as well as the wording of classified ads printed in the German-controlled papers: Nowy Kurier Warszawski, Goniec Krakowski and Gazeta Żydowska, which documented the grassroots attempts to arrange apartment swaps between the Jews and the Poles.
