Kurzfassung:
Contends that the establishment of Soviet rule in the annexed northeastern regions of prewar Poland (western Belorussia) in 1939 not only failed to terminate the old conflict between the Jews and non-Jews, but kindled it even more. The dissatisfaction of Belarusians, Poles, and Ukrainians with Soviet politics found an outlet in antisemitism, enhanced by the large representation of Jews in the Soviet power structures in western Belarus. The conflict between the Poles, who had been the ruling strata before September 1939, and the Jews, "who took over their place" with the coming of the Soviets, was especially harsh. Belarusians sided mainly with the Poles. The social discontent was manifested in the popular expectation that the Germans would invade and take revenge on the Jews. The stereotype "the Pole is the enemy", disseminated by the Soviets in the first months of their rule, was easily transformed to "the Jew is the enemy" amongst Belarusians. Presents numerous illustrations of these processes in the district of Pinsk.
