It was one of the hottest periods in the history of Polish diplomacy. Askenazy represented the interests of the reborn Poland, his chosen homeland. However, his actions did not always receive general approval of the main camps of Polish politics. He was also a spokesperson for the concept of Jews’ double consciousness: Jewish and Polish. In his opinion, Jews should maintain their religion and culture, but at the same time “let them combine it with a sense of Polishness and Polish patriotism”.}, type={Text}, title={Szymon Askenazy as a diplomat of the Reborn Poland (1920–1923)}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/64082/PDF/WA303_83554_SDR-52-3-SI_Kornat.pdf}, volume={52}, number={3, Special Issue}, journal={Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej}, publisher={Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences}, keywords={Askenazy, Szymon (1866-1935), Poland - 1914-1939 (Second Polish Republic), Poland - foreign relations - 1918-1939, Polish diplomacy 1921-1923, Polish history 1918-1939, Polish foreign politics in the interwar period, Jews in Poland, double consciousness of Jews}, }
