August 26, 1940
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

The Board of Deputies of British Jews decided today to intervene with the authorities regarding the publication of the anti-Semitic newspaper “I am a Pole” by extremist Polish refugees in England.

The decision followed consideration of a report submitted by Leonard Stein, co-president of the Joint Foreign Committee, which branded the anti-Jewish propaganda of some Poles in England as “an intolerable abuse of British hospitality.”
