The question of “misunderstandings between Jewish members of the Polish armed forces and their. Polish comrades in arms” was raised today by Dr. Ignacy Schwartzbart, Jewish member of Polish National Council, at a meeting of the Council’s Budget Committee which is considering the appropriation for the army and the Ministry of War.
Although admitting that the situation had greatly improved in recent months, Schwartzbart insisted that relations between Jews and Poles in the army were not yet altogether satisfactory, Dr. Z. Szydlowski, one of the members of the Budget Committee, answering Dr. Schwartzbart, stated that “one must not generalize concerning isolated incidents when speaking of Jewish-Polish relations. “He added that “such incidents are only sporadic and not characteristic of the situation.”
