| Video Discription | Mazur is a traditional Polish folk dance from the region of Masovia and a kind of traditional music of Polish origin. Its name that appears in the title "Żydowski mazur", with an adjective "Jewish", creates some contradiction in the genre and indicates that we encounter a special blend of cultural trait -- Polish and Jewish. The combination was designed as a humoristic mixture of Polish and Jewish accents, both in music and in the lyrics. No wonder, Jewish and Polish tradition and culture were bound together on the Polish areas for ages. Recorded ca. 1908 by Polish artists -- Marian Domosławski and Wincenty Rapacki, operetta actors and singers, popular in Poland in the early years of 20th century. Their duet couplet was recorded in Warsaw for The Gramophone Company Ltd. "(...) After the re-creation of the Polish Republic in 1918 its Jewish community was still the largest in Europe, constituting approximately ten per cent of the Polish population. Most of them lived in the cities although almost a quarter lived in villages, which allowed for the continuation of the unique 'shtetl' communities. The overwhelming majority of Jews worked in commerce, industry, and the professions and in some areas the Jews constituted a majority. Tailoring and shoemaking were typical Jewish occupations, as was shopkeeping. At the same time 56 per cent of all doctors, 43 per cent of teachers, 33 per cent of lawyers, and 22 per cent of journalists were Jewish. Most Jews belonged to the petty-bourgeoisie and were not well off.(...)" From: JEWISH-POLISH RELATIONS: A HISTORICAL SURVEY by Władysław T. Bartoszewski Short passage, cited above, does not exhaust of course all aspects of pretty complicated relations between Jews and Poles on Polish grounds.
