Polish refugees have begun serious anti-Jewish activity in England, the Jewish Chronicle charged today.
Polish anti-Semitic National Democrats, led by Marian Seyda, a member of the Polish National Council, are publishing a weekly called “I Am a Pole,” the first issue of which is violently anti-Semitic, the Chronicle declared.
Refugees are distributing leaflets violently attacking Jews, while three Poles have been arrested after serious attacks on Jewish refugees at the Norwood Center, it was said.
The Chronicle warned editorially that the Polish authorities must realize the effect of the anti-Jewish campaign. “It is calculated to revolt decent English sentiment and help to reproduce here the causes which led to the overthrow of their own country,” the editorial said.
The Chronicle added that if the Polish authorities were unable to control their own countrymen or dispense with the cooperation of notorious Jew-baiters, public opinion night be expected to ask what authority they could be expected to command in a resurrected Polish State.
