| Summary: | During the war and in the context of the Shoah and Nazi Germany’s occupation of Poland, many acts of anti-Semitic violence, both collective and individual, were perpetrated by “ethnic Poles,” prolonging a Jewish-Polish conflict that was already latent in the Interwar period. While this conflict was based mainly on economic issues, it was exploited by anti-Semitic nationalist ideologues and the Catholic clergy. This research analyzes the geography of the violence committed against Jews which, in the immediate post-war period (1944-1947), determined where Jews were held and resulted in the organization of a special self-defense commission as a paramilitary response to anti-Semitism. The most significant example is that of the city of Łódź in 1946-1947.The self-defense force was dissolved in 1947, opening the door to more “honorable” forms of activism and the end of funding for Jewish self-defense. |
