Kurzfassung:
In the medical colleges of universities in Warsaw, Vilnius, Krakow, and Lvov, in the 1920s-30s, right-wing Christian students called upon the administrations not to allow Jews to dissect Christian corpses (stemming from the antisemitic concept of the impurity of Jews) and demanded that Jewish students provide a regular supply of Jewish corpses for themselves to dissect, in accordance with the percentage of Jews amongst the medical students. This corresponded with the more general call of the Right in Poland to remove Jews from the free professions. The Jews could not comply because Jewish law forbids the dissection of corpses.
