TI - Echoes of the Jewish Street: On the Presence of the Yiddish
	Language in Contemporary Polish “Retro” Crime Fiction
AB - 
	The article presents various strategies of using the Yiddish language in contemporary Polish “retro” crime fiction, i.e. detective novels that take place before WWII. By analyzing different examples of stylized language used by Jewish characters, the author presents general tendencies of depicting Jews and Yiddish culture in the popular fiction of today’s Poland. The analysis is conducted in the context of Polish literary history in order to trace the development of this literary strategy over time and reflect on the general image of Jewish culture created by the authors of “retro” crime stories.
