Drohobych, Sokół hall. Students of the Imperial-Royal Higher Middle School organise a music and recitation show in honour of Adam Mickiewicz. Bruno Schulz, even if he is not performing on stage, can watch his friends with the parents.
Is it likely that such events would attract a larger audience, or would the audience only be the parents of the children participating in the show? For Schulz, who probably attended the premiere of the performance the day before in the school hall, watching the same show for the second time would have been boring. At the same time, for Poles, such evenings were an occasion for patriotic demonstrations. The remains is what its significance for the Polonised Schulz family was.
The income from the project would be donated to three dormitories1.
The school board’s statement says that the ceremony in honour of Mickiewicz was held in front of an open public on December 20. It was probably a mistake, resulting from the long time that passed until the statement was drawn up. Tygodnik Samborsko-Drohobycki, which was published a few days after the event, indicates the date of 18 December2.
