Abstract

The primary task of the Social Court of the Central Jewish Committee in Poland was to pass judgement “in cases of misconduct by a member of the Jewish community during the Nazi occupation unbefitting a Jewish citizen, through his participation and harmful activity in the Jewish Councils, the ghetto police, concentration camp administration or other cooperation with the occupying forces to the detriment of society”, according to the rules established by this court. The Social Court was established in September 1946, and operated until 1950. In the text, the author analyzes the files collected in the Citizens’ Tribunal (of the Central Committee of Polish Jews, CKŻP) collection in the Archives of the Jewish Historical Institute, archive no. 313. Their reading, as she tries to demonstrate, reveals to the researcher the insufficiently explored areas of women’s experience of the Holocaust, the boundaries of chich were marked by female physicality and the social roles attributed to women, which were not always directly related to it.
