Łucja Gliksman albo świadek naszych tęsknot

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present Łucja Gliksman. She was not only a Polish poet living in Israel, but a conjunction of a Polish-speaking literary community. Over the years she became a reference to cultural activities and writing, which took place in Israel. Łucja Gliksman was a great personality, valued for her outstanding poetic writing, so important in Polish – Israeli community. That is why everyone relied on her opinions, approval or criticism. With her departure, the stage of Polish – Israeli literary life irrevocably began to close. In the poetry she created, Mrs. Łucja was an authentic exponent of her community due to the strength of her conviction and expressiveness of her attitude. The community itself is unique: made up of people who found themselves in Israel under various circumstances, under the influence of very different, most often dramatic turns of history and their own trans formations. Here, they united with the country, expanded their Israeli identity and expressed Jewish national consciousness.
