The chairman of the Association of Polish-Jewish Ex-Servicemen said today that there was no future for the remaining Jews in Poland. S. Frisner, who spoke at a memorial meeting marking the 26th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, said the revival of officially inspired anti-Semitism by the Warsaw regime had astounded the Polish people themselves as well as the outside world. According to Mr. Frisner, the Polish anti-Semitic campaign which began over a year ago was still continuing even though the struggle for political power which prompted the use of Jews as scapegoats appears to have diminished.
Mr. Frisner said the Polish Government’s use of anti-Semitism was unique in light of the fact that hardly any Jews remained in Poland–“It is anti-Semitism without Jews.” The meeting was addressed by Alderman Michael Fidler, chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, and by Sir Barnett Janner, a member of Parliament, who is chairman of a committee seeking to raise $120,000 for a Polish-Jewish martyrs monument in Britain.
