Despite the national Catholic culture, Poland has historically been very openly religiously embracing many national minorities. Poland was called the “Melting Pot of Culture” because many denominations met here freely: Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Hebrew and Islam.
Before the First World War, Poland was administratively divided into three occupied spheres of influence (Germany, Russia, Austria). There was practically no Poland on the map, and the administrative mess on the Polish lands favored uncontrolled economic investments. The wealthy Jewish community had the largest share in economic investments. The Poles imprisoned, expropriated by the occupation forces, did not compete with the business of Jews who did not underestimate the opportunities and built entire industrial cities, increasing their influence. The dynamic labor market in emerging factories attracted emigrants form all over Europe. The Jewish community who settled not only in cities but also in the provinces had the largest share in this immigration. It was the Jews who constituted the largest ethnic minority in Poland feeling very free and safe.
After the end of First World War and the rebirth of the Polish state, the immigration of Jews to Poland grew even stronger. The first noticeable problems appeared.
These problems began to arise from the religious foundation of Jewish culture and its totalitarian aspiration. Jews strongly associated with tradition only seemingly assimilated culturally, and with the demographic importance of their own culture and the status of social wealth, Jews began to adopt a dominant attitude in the Polish nation.
As a prosperous and well-educated society, Jews took condescendingly over important and key positions in state administration. This gave favor and priority in the interests of their own religious group. Jews took over positions in the Polish judiciary. The lawyer was the highest paid person in Poland at that time. Power in the judiciary gave bias in the judgments. Salaries in factories owned by Jews and priority in employment were privileged for Jews. Gradually, Poles began to feel that they were inferior citizens in their own country.
It was similar in the provinces. Jews tried to stick to a certain group. There was a situation that in many small towns the national minority in Poland were Poles themselves.
The domination of Jews in Poland was starting to be worrying. There were public protests with the slogan “Everywhere a Jew, I’m ashamed”. These protests were included in the political programs of communists organizations, which easily attracted supporters recruiting from persons injured by the Jewish administration or dishonest Jewish employers.
An additional problem was Jewish ideology, which commanded contempt for people representing other denominations. The Jew was protected by inviolability, and he had the full right to insult the gentiles or people who were not Jewish. The Pole was a gentile, so he was the bad one. Jewish influence in the administration and the judiciary could legitimately sanction social injustice.
Friendly Jewish culture began to take the form of carcinogenic tissue of the state organism. Poles began to fear the vision of another slavery on the part of Jews. Fear and experiencing humiliation from Jews turned into hatred. This hatred was perceived by Jews as a rape of their culture and these were the first allegations of anti-Semitism in Poland against bad Poles.
It is presumed that a similar situation took place in Germany, where the fascist party began to solve this problem in a brutal way, the reverse principle, or despising those who learn to despise others. Not Jews were to be masters in Germany, but Germans.
Fortunately, there was no such political force in Poland, Poland as a tolerant country had no idea to defend against Jewish influence. It was Jews who helped build the economy in Poland, so radical actions against Jews would be an unethical act of lack of political gratitude. The biggest attack on the presence of Jews in Poland came from communist groups, but the totalitarianism of communism did not enjoy full confidence, neither did Russia and Germany, i.e. the countries that were Polish occupiers.
Already in the first year of German occupation of Poland during World War II, the Germans launched a program to separate Jews in isolated zones called the ghetto. To deceive Jews and facilitate the resettlement, the Germans referred to Polish anti-Semitism and the will to protect Jews against Poles. Germans explained to Poles that they wanted to help them cleanse Poland of Jews by encouraging them to cooperate. The Poles were helped by the Germans, who had been humiliated by Jews earlier and started an ideological fight with them. German separation of Jews brought some relief to Poles. Nobody knew yet why the Jews were separated, so help from many Poles was a natural defensive reflex. Today, Jewish propaganda very many exposes this as Polish anti-Semitism, completely ignoring the fact that many Poles risked their own lives and security by protecting Jews from the Germans, when it turned out that the separation of Jews was a prison sentence for them. “Who helped Jews, was to share the fate of Jews.” It is ignored that during the occupation, Poland did not exist in reality, and the Polish nation did not have the power of self-determination because it performed a similar slave function.
At the root of the Jewish holocaust and anti-Semitism is the aggressive religious culture of Jews. A culture that commands Jews to despise non-Jews. If someone was born into a Jewish family, they are forced to function in this culture, they cannot express their will to leave it because of unethical ideological principles. It takes extraordinary courage and giving up privileges to become a man open to respect for others. If everyone had such courage, the Jewish tradition would have expired. That is why the tradition of contempt and the hidden will of domination are still maintained, masking every attack on this form of threat of totalitarianism, defensive shout about anti-Semitism. This scream is expressed by the greatest authorities of the Jewish people.
There is still the question of 1968 events. But before we get to it, it should be noted that in 1957 the people’s power in Poland, the team of Wladyslaw Gomulka, announced the fight against anti-Semitism and all divisions in Polish society. However, right after that, a group of “guerrillas” started fighting for power, referring to patriotic merits in armed struggle, criticizing the current government formed from activists in many cases of Jewish origin who came to Poland from post-war Stalinist Russia. In 1968, as a result of the Israeli-Egypt conflicts provoked by Russia, Russia, an ally of Egypt, condemned Israel by breaking diplomatic relations with it. The government in Poland, under the pressure of Moscow, did the same, supporting propaganda and often ideological coercion, the Polish government showed Jews as an environment acting to the detriment of the country. Offensive to Jews speeches by the head of the Polish state of Poland Wladyslaw Gomulka, who ten years earlier declared opposite views, were awaited by the Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev. The party group of “partisans” took the opportunity to fight the Jews in Poland by introducing universal purges in the form of removing people of Jewish origin from the state administration and causing many social difficulties. Many Jews emigrated from Poland under the dictation of the authorities, but those who in later years helped to build the democratic opposition remained.
In Poland, you can often see hooligan inscriptions on the walls of “Jude”. They relate to hated football clubs and refer to their fans symbolizing that they are like Jews in a pejorative sense. This is not an opinion about Jews participating in the Holocaust, but an expression of fidelity to supporters of the communist ideology of Soviet Russia and propaganda of 1968, although the authors of the inscriptions themselves consider it a legacy of fascist worship or Arab politics, which is typical ignorance.
