Celem artykułu jest opisanie przede wszystkim zawartości spuścizny rodziny Flatauów
przechowywanej w zbiorach Biblioteki Raczyńskich w Poznaniu: dokumentów
osobistych, majątkowych, fotografii, korespondencji oraz innych materiałów
związanych z ich zainteresowaniami i działalnością zawodową. Mogą one być cennym
materiałem źródłowym dla badaczy historii Żydów w Polsce oraz ich roli w nauce
i kulturze Poznania. Na końcu tekstu osobną uwagę poświęcono załączonym
do spuścizny rodziny Flatauów papierom zaprzyjaźnionej z nimi rosyjskiej arystokratycznej
rodziny Korostowców, ale ze względu na ograniczoną objętość artykułu
zasygnalizowano zaledwie ich zawartość. Mogą one stanowić wartościowy materiał
do dziejów tzw. białej emigracji rosyjskiej po 1917 roku.
This article aims at presenting the life and work of a number of individual family members of the Flatau family, a Poznań-based (since 1921) educated (the socalled “intelligentsia”) family of Jewish extraction as it is documented by the family collections kept at the Raczyński Library. The following members of the family are included: Julian Flatau (1870–1935) professor of chemistry at Poznań University and the High Commercial School in Poznań; his wife Fanny (1880–1973) née Landau, lawyer by education, translator and private tutor of foreign languages; their son Kazimierz (1910–2000) chemist by profession, reader at the Faculty of Physics at Poznań University, who also established a harpsichord class at the State High Musical Academy in Poznań; daughter Aleksandra (by her first marriage Kowalska, later Shuster (1914–1978), a lawyer; and her son Krzysztof Flatau-Kowalski (b. 1938) electronic engineer. In addition, Fanny’s parents: Anna (1858–1942) née Lévy and Michał (1848– –1919) Landau, as well as Zenaida Myszcyn-Flatau (1909–2000), wife of Kazimierz Flatau. The article attempts to describe the content of the documents and writings of the family that include: personal and property documents, photographs, correspondence and other materials related to professional activity and interests of the members of the family. All these materials provide valuable source material for those researchers that are interested in the history of Polish Jews and their part in science, research and culture of the city of Poznań. A separate section of the article placed at the end of the article is devoted to the documents and writings of the aristocratic Russian family of the Korostowiecs who were close friends to the Flatau family. Due to the limited length of this article, however, only their contents are briefly mentioned. Likewise, the documents may present valuable material related to the history of the so-called “White-Russian” emigration after the Revolution of 1917.
