Abstract
In 1924, Alfred Döblin traveled to Poland. During his stay, this German author of Jewish origin, hitherto unknown in Poland, visited among others Warsaw, Vilnius, Cracow, Lvov, Lodz and Lublin. The literary result of Döblin’s visit to Poland is the work Journey to Poland, in which he depicts the experiences he gathered. Döblin portrays two parallel worlds: Polish and Jewish. The purpose of this article is to present this Polish-Jewish reality from Alfred Döblin’s perspective with a special focus on Krakow, and to show how the visit to Poland influenced the German author’s biography.
