“…Poland, dubbed The Land of Treblinka in the Israeli press, was a particularly sensitive case (Silber, 2008). However, despite these strong sentiments and the severance of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 1967, Israeli Jews of Polish descent continued to harbour strong feelings towards their birth country (Silber, 2010).…”

The article explores investment decisions made by Israelis who purchased or intended to purchase a residential property in Poland. Specifically, it focuses on their set of motivations to invest there and the extent to which their ethno‐national or other types of affinity with the country played a role in their decision. Drawing on interviews with (Jewish) Israeli citizens, we argue that their Choice to invest in Poland was not only financial but influenced also by strong emotional connections to the country, a combination we term ‘sentrumental’ (instrumental and sentimental). We contend that the decision of Israeli Jews to buy property in Poland, against the historical backdrop of the traumatic experience of Jews there, is highly contentious. Analyzing the discursive strategies they use to explain, indeed justify, their unorthodox decision, we show how their emotional ties to Poland often conflict with its controversial history and their own personal identities. It is this conflict, we conclude, that makes Israeli Jews with various biographical ties to Poland an inherently ambivalent elective diaspora.

Operation Leaving Poland: Katriel Katz and His Diplomatic Mission to Poland (1956–1958) The article describes the diplomatic mission to Poland of the Israeli represent tive Katriel Katz in 1956–1958. Special attention is given to the results of the political activity of this diplomat in Warsaw, in particular to the issue concerning the aliyah of Polish Jews to Israel in this period. A very important part of the article focuses on the case of Yaakov Barmore, who was regarded by Polish authorities as persona non grata and was expelled from Poland in 1958.
