Abstract

Poland: Anti-Semitism as Usual

Sharp, Samuel L. | April 15, 1968 issue

add to cart   close window

To someone who spent thirty years of his life in Poland, the noises currently emanating from there have, somewhat perversely, the reassuring quality of the familiar. Whether it is "the Jews" or "the Zionists" who are being blamed for the unrest among young intellectuals and students, it all sounds, in a way, "normal." In the period between the World Wars a joke of sorts often heard in Poland was built around the statement that anything untoward was the fault of the Jews and the bicycle riders. It was normal to blame the Jews, and apparently it still is.
