Central Jewish Body in Poland Calls on Jews to Unmask “reactionary Zionist Forces”

A call to Jews throughout Poland to unmask the role of “reactionary Trotzkyite-Zionist-Bundist” (Jewish Socialists) forces and the present leadership of the World Jewish Congress was issued here by the Central Jewish Committee of Poland in connection with International Peace Day which was celebrated on Sunday.

The present leadership of the World Jewish Congress was accused of working in behalf of “American imperialism” and against the U.S.S.R. and the countries of Eastern Europe. The same call told the Jews that the only guarantee of the security of a Jewish state is the bloc of nations headed by the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries where race hatred and anti-Semitism are classified as crimes against the state. The manifesto also declared that the Polish Government “understands” the economic, cultural and national needs of the Jewish population of Poland.

The current issue of the Yiddish-language Mapam weekly carries an article on the “disintegration” of Zionist youth groups in lower Silesia and accuses these organizations of exploiting the Arab-Israel fighting last year” to create a strong nationalistic feeling among the youth” and of giving all credit to the emergence of an independent Jewish state to the Zionist movement.
