A lecture delivered by a Polish anti-Semitic professor in a little Polish town was of such an exciting nature that it led to a fight between a five year old Polish girl and her Jewish playmate of the same age.
Professor Chomiez visited the town of Kilo, where he lectured on “The Jewish Menace to Poland”. His arguments were so stirring that the following day hooligans attacked and mistreated the Jews. Feeling ran so high that even a five year old Polish girl, Pauline Bulinska, stabbed a knife into her Jewish playmate, mortally wounding her. The young assailant was arrested but later was released.
