Life / Jewish culture in today`s Poland [158]
Unassimilated Jews didn`t speak Polish and kept their traditions, especially religious ones. They didn`t have to change coz they lived and worked in Jewish districts with other Jews all their lives.
Assimilated Jews spoke Polish and dropped their Jewish religion. But rarely adopted catholicism - they remained non-believers.
Before the war, 80% Jewish children went to Polish state schools where they learned the language. It means 20% didn`t.
Yes, I know. But currently my schedule doesn`t allow for it.
