“There is no Polish history without the Jews, and there is no Jewish history without Poland.” Such are the words of the prominent historian Jacob Goldberg, who was born in Łódź, survived the Buchenwald concentration camp, and immigrated to Israel in 1968, where he became a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Since the Middle Ages, a shared past and historical experience has linked Polish and Jewish literatures inextricably, as manifested in its Polish denomination “literatura polsko-żydowska”. This term denotes, I would argue, Jewish literatures (in the plural) written in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Polish in the territories of Poland, including, but not limited to, those landscapes historically Polish. This article consists of two major parts and a teaching example: the first part briefly outlines the history of Polish Jewish literatures, while the second part discusses two essays by Władysław Panas (1947–2005), a leading Polish literary scholar whose essays The Writing and the Wound: On Polish-Jewish Literature (1987) and The Eye of the Tzaddik (1999) reflect the methodological complexity inherent in thinking about Polish Jewish literatures. Finally, I present an exemplary program of a seminar course I have developed for students of the Master’s degree program in “East European Cultural Studies” at Potsdam University in winter term 2016/2017, most of whom do not know the source languages.
