German Drama In Poland After World War II

GERMAN DRAMA WAS WELL KNOWN and often presented in Poland almost from the beginning of the permanent professional theater, that is, from the end of the eighteenth century. A large part of Poland was then under the rule of Prussia and Austria, and the ruling powers during the occupation of our country willingly spread German culture. Just before the loss of freedom, traveling companies from Germany, Saxony, or Austria often played in Warsaw, even settling for a certain time in the capital of Poland. And later appearances of German companies in Cracow or Lwow were as frequent and unremarkable as appearances of Russian companies in Warsaw.
