Types of official announcements in the Warsaw Ghetto (based on Ringelblum’s archival collections)

Leszek Tymiakin

Abstract

Official types of writing are the text patterns and updates that regulate communication between institutions and specific (subordinate) communities. Sometimes one of the parties of the interaction is a whole group, sometimes it is a larger or smaller part of it, and at other times another one is assigned to be the addressee of the message. Regardless of the number of intended recipients and, less often, the broadcasters, all the articles presented in this text include direct or indirect information on the living conditions and interpersonal relationships in the Warsaw Ghetto. All pieces of information are also characterized by a constant set of features: directness, impersonality, lack of emotions, precision and comprehension, and textual standardization.
