On the basis of the letters of Herman Lieberman to Helene Deutsch née Rosenbach, unknown in Polish literature, the authors are looking at the issue of love in the life of the eminent Polish politician and lawyer of the first half of the 20th century, trying to establish to what extent his emotionality, ideological commitment and devotion to his nearest and dearest defined Lieberman not only as a statesman but first of all as a human, and to what extent it was reflected in his daily decisions. Finally, they deal with the issue, polemicizing with the previous hypotheses, why H. Lieberman, despite his deep love for Helene Rosenbach did not divorce his wife, sacrificing his personal happiness for the sake of raison d’état.
