[edit] Labas Lysy
Was this another part of Lithuania that was "annexed" by Poland after it reneged on the treaty signed between Poland and Lithuania in October 1920? Was the population predominantly Polish or Lithuanian (other than the Jewish population)? Dr. Dan 02:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, the population of Eišiškės is predominantly Polish. --Lysytalk 13:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean today or then? Dr. Dan 15:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Today of course. Until the war, it had mixed Jewish-Polish-Tatar-Lithuanian population, predominantly Jewish. --Lysytalk 15:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm? The article states that the population today is close to 4000 people (who you say are predominantly Polish). The article also states that 4000 Jews were killed during the war. Was the town's population dramatically higher in 1939-1945? What determined if an inhabitant was a Tatar? Looks, language, religion? During the Polish occupation, did Lithuanians "loudly" proclaim their nationality, or were they more inclined (like your own ancestors) to speak their native language at home and the "official" language on the street? Once again I hope you are not using language as the primary basis for determining "nationality", especially after all of our recent "progress" on the talk pages of Jan Dzierzon.
