July 12, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents material relating to the treatment of the Jews in Poland that forms part of the material submitted by the Committee for the Defense of the Jews in Poland to the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives. The general belief in Poland is that all Jews are Bolshevists. It is true that some of the Jewish Socialist youth had actively helped the Bolshevists. But the average orthodox, long-robed Jews of the Pole, nine in ten at least of the Jewish population, regarded any revolutionary doctrine with horror. The practice prevailed in Poland of forcing Jews to do menial duties for the troops, without pay. All Hebrew inscriptions were removed, even from the schools and hospitals.
