A Polish-language daily published here condemned anti-Semitism as “but one step on the ladder leading to genocide.” The Chicago Polish-American, in an editorial condemning President de Gaulle’s attack on Israel and the Jewish people, said that “perhaps the outcry of public opinion has taught de Gaulle that, in the West at least, anti-Semitism will no longer serve a public leader who attempts to use it — for whatever purpose. Perhaps the outcry has likewise taught him that civilized men have not yet forgotten an important lesson of World War II, the lesson that anti-Semitism is but one step on the ladder leading to genocide.”
