Abstract:
Of the ca. 250,000 Jews who returned to live in Poland after World War II, only ca. 30,000 remained in 1960. Several Jews held posts in the communist government of the 1950s, but from 1956 Wladyslaw Gomulka quietly forced them to leave their positions. In June 1967, after the Israeli victory over the communist-supported Arabs in the Six-Day War, Gomulka declared the Jews in Poland an unwanted "fifth column." After this declaration, Jews were quietly forced to leave their positions in the army and in the press. The reaction of the Polish government and press to student unrest in March 1968 was to blame the Jews and to accuse them of dual loyalty. An antisemitic campaign began in the press and other media, disguised as a campaign against Zionism. Discusses the role of Mieczyslaw Moczar, leader of the "Partisans, " in this campaign. Ca. 20,000 Jews, especially those who had been forced out of government and other positions, emigrated at this time.
