“Mishl Zshidovska”
Weekly Jewish Newspaper in the Polish Language
by A. Ts. Mayzels

Translated by Tina Lunson

In the time of the First World War, in 1916-1918, during the time of the Austrian occupation, a Jewish newspaper was published in Lublin in the Polish language under the name “Mishl Zshidovska” (“Jewish Thought”). It was published by the university-educated intellectuals.

The newspaper had the goal of fighting for equal citizens' rights for Jews.

The newspaper found itself in a difficult polemical struggle with the two contemporary daily Polish newspapers “Glos Lubelski”, the organ of the Endekes, and “Zshemia Lubelska”, the organ of the “Aktivistn” of the time.

In the beginning the journal was published under the editorship of the capable journalist Ludvik Rekhtshaft. The editorial offices were located at Radzilovska 3. Later there was a collegial editorial group consisting of Rekhtshaft, M. Shaynbrun, the gifted publicist, known by the name “Mikolay Vadias”, collaborator with the Jewish-Polish newspapers in Warsaw, Krakov, Lemberg and later editor of the Jewish-Polish daily newspaper “Novadzshiennik” in Krakov; and of the then-young journalist Y. Kershman, the later-famous attorney Kershman.

Among the regular contributors to the newspaper were well-known community activists: the long-term chairman of the Jewish Council attorney B. Varman, Dr. M. Zaydenman, attorney Goldberg and Y. L. Shper.
