An organization called “Zomo”, set up in Poland to fight the Solidarity movement, told its recruits that Solidarity was created and manipulated by Jews, according to Vina Grodski,a Polish political refugee living in Germany. Grodski said in an interview in a Swiss newspaper that he had been a member of “Zomo” and heard of the alleged Jewish connection with Solidarity during his training period. Asked if he believed it, he replied, “In my whole life I have never even met a Jew.”
