The Jewish Cultural and Social Association in Warsaw, virtually moribund since the official anti-Semitic campaign started in Poland a year ago, was represented at a seminar for the cultural and social organizations of national minority groups, the Association’s organ, Folkstimme, reports. The seminar was held in Lubin, Silesia, and was devoted to lectures by spokesmen of the regime on the achievements of Poland. They also gave the assembled groups instructions on how to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Polish Peoples Republic, Folkstimme said.
The newspaper, once a daily but now a weekly, is the only organ of Polish Jewry. It conceded recently that the activities of the Jewish Cultural Association had been considerably “weakened” in the past year and reported that there would be no official encouragement or assistance this year for the celebration of the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
