Pamiętnik Teatralny 1992/1–4 is the last volume prepared under the editors-in-chief Bohdan Korzeniewski (1905-1992) and Zbigniew Raszewski (1925-1992), who steered the journal since 1956. The issue was published after their deaths, and the editorial team wrote in the preface:

“According to an expression of the late Professor Raszewski, who put a lot of heart and effort into this project, working on it literally until the last days of his life, this issue is to be a pilot, a tug-boat bringing this new subject into Polish theatrical literature. . . . If by collecting materials, showing the richness of phenomena, unveiling unchartered regions, pointing to problems and posing questions it will spur the reader on to further research, then it will fulfill the tasks, which both the Editors had always set for Pamiętnik Teatralny. The history of theatre in Poland, in the old as well as the new Republic, is not solely the history of Polish theatre, but also of the theatre of those nations, which lived here and still live here. The history of Yiddish theatre unrolled itself in many countries, on different continents. Also in Poland. We wish to draw attention to the mutual relationships between Yiddish and Polish theatre, to the collaboration between the creators, the intermingling of works and ideas. We hope that this issue of Pamiętnik Teatralny will serve not only the enthusiasts, researchers and creators of Yiddish theatre, but also all those who take interest in the history of theatre in Poland, in its richness and diversity.”
