Abstract:
A report of research carried out with the support of the Open Society Foundation. The information was acquired by monitoring major newspapers and journals in Poland, a selection of the local press, Internet sites, and other mass media. All of the Jewish communities were questioned about antisemitic incidents; there were 45 such incidents in 2000. The number of antisemitic publications in 1999-2000 grew considerably in comparison to previous years. Discusses use of antisemitic propaganda by right-wing political parties and concludes that the usefulness of antisemitism for political manipulation is the reason why politicians are not really interested in combating it. States, however, that aberrant antisemitism does not appeal to the voters. Surveys leitmotifs of antisemitic propaganda, underlining the influence of the Radio Maryja Catholic broadcasts. Discusses, also, some cases of antisemitic activities which have been brought to the public attorney's offices or to the courts.
