English summary: Warsaw, 1968. Students are protesting against the Polish state and party leadership. They are not advocating the abolition of Socialism, but rather the fulfillment of its promises. Many of the young protestors, including Irena Grudzinska, Adam Michnik, and Jan T. Gross, come from Jewish families. However, only a few of them identify with Judaism, seeing themselves rather as Polish patriots and as Communists. Nevertheless, their origins are implicitly evoked in their protests. David Kowalski's study examines the meaning of this belonging in the early opposition movement. Reaching back to the interwar period, he illuminates the experiences of the generation preceding the dissidents of 1968, examines the repercussions of the Holocaust, and demonstrates the interconnections of origins, Communist hopes, and Socialist disappointments. German description: Warschau 1968. Studenten protestieren gegen die polnische Staats- und Parteifuhrung. Sie treten nicht fur die Abschaffung des Sozialismus, sondern fur die Verwirklichung seiner Versprechen ein. Viele der jungen Oppositionellen, darunter Irena Grudzinska, Adam Michnik und Jan T. Gross, kommen aus judischen Familien. Die wenigsten von ihnen identifizieren sich jedoch mit dem Judentum, sie verstehen sich als polnische Patrioten und als Kommunisten. Dennoch verschafft sich ihre Herkunft in ihrem Protest verschlusselt Geltung. David Kowalski untersucht in seiner Studie die Bedeutung dieser Zugehorigkeit fur die fruhe Oppositionsbewegung. Hierfur geht er in die Zwischenkriegszeit zuruck und beleuchtet den Erfahrungshintergrund der Elterngeneration der Dissidenten von 1968. Er fragt nach den Nachwirkungen des Holocaust und zeigt die Verschrankung von Herkunft, kommunistischer Hoffnung und sozialistischen Enttauschungen auf.
