Summary: In the urban map of the Second Polish Republic, the Końskie shtetl has been preserved only in documentation collected by the Jewish Historical Institute (referred to as ŻIH), in memoires and photographs. The latter ones, taken by the German soldiers after the annexation of Poland, present the no longer existent enclave, a place of a remarkable uniqueness shaped by the Jewish culture. In compliance with self-perception of their identity, Końskie's inhabitants created a hermetic, homogenous community accepting only the people of the Jewish creed. Unlike the large metropolitan areas, here, the process of the cultural integration with Polish citizens did not progress in the same way; however, it determined formation of its own unique style. On the geo-demographic map of Poland of the interwar period, the world of Końskie shtetl could be distinguished on the basis of the demographic diversity collation. In this respect, the eastern regions of Poland were special. Particularly in the region of Lubelskie and Świętokrzyskie the majority of towns had the Jewish population reaching 80 per cent and more. The same phenomenon was reflected in the symbiotic coexistence of the Polish and the Jewish inhabitants of Końskie. It resulted partly from the fact that in small provincial towns and the nearby villages the Jewish people lived off the beaten track. As if in isolation there beat the heart of the Jewish culture and religion. Cheders, yeshivas, synagogues, stores and shops, stalls and market squares, were all fulfilled with chatter in Yiddish and Hebrew, languages incomprehensible for the Poles, who found the world of this enclave weird and strange as well as special. This attitude definitely resulted from some kind of coerced isolation of the Jewish people along with concurrent enforced tolerance by their Polish neighbours. Disregarding their perception, the uniqueness of such places has been embedded into the cultural and historical heritage since the Second Polish Republic, a fact which cannot be ignored. Being homogenously sterile, Końskie shtetl was restricted for the Polish people. Neither did both sides allow penetration of the other culture, religion, or traditions. Although it was included in the same administrative unit as the rest of the population, it stayed separate. As a result, the Końskie enclave of the Jewish people constituted a unique universe on the Polish map.
