German notice inGerman-occupied Poland,1939: "No entry for Poles!"

Polonophobia,[1]also referred to asanti-Polonism(Polish:Antypolonizm)[2]oranti-Polish sentimentare terms for negative attitudes, prejudices, and actions againstPolesas an ethnic group,Polandas their country, andtheir culture.These includeethnic prejudiceagainst Poles and persons of Polish descent, other forms ofdiscrimination,and mistreatment of Poles and thePolish diaspora.[3]

This prejudice led to mass killings andgenocideor it was used to justify atrocities[4][failed verification]both before and duringWorld War II,most notably by theGerman NazisandUkrainian nationalists.WhileSoviet repressions and massacres of Polish citizenswere ideologically motivated, the negative attitude of Soviet authorities to the Polish nation is well-attested.[citation needed]

Nazi Germany killed between 1.8 to 2.7 million ethnic Poles, 140,000 Poles were deported toAuschwitzwhere at least half of them perished.[5][6]

Anti-Polish sentiment includesstereotypingPoles as unintelligent and aggressive, as thugs, thieves, alcoholics, andanti-Semites.[7][8][9][10][11]

Etymology

[[Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation from {{{1}}}]]According to Adam Leszczynski, the termantypolonizmwas coined by journalistEdmund Osmańczykin 1946. Osmańczyk condemnedanti-Jewish violence in postwar Poland,and concluded:

The growing anti-Polonism in the world has the same source as antisemitism: aversion to weak people, chronically handicapped by the fate of the handicapped, weak people by the difference between the hope of individuals and the poverty of the masses, people living scattered, constantly fighting for their homeland... We are becoming unpopular as a nation and, as with the Jewish people, only individuals are granted the right to be sympathetic.[13]

Features

Forms of hostility toward Poles and Polish culture include:

A historic example of anti-Polish sentiment waspolakożerstwo(in English, "the devouring of Poles" ) – a Polish term coined in the 19th century in relation to thedismemberment and annexation of PolandbyPrussia,theHabsburg monarchyandRussia.Polakożerstwodescribed the forcible suppression of Polish culture, education and religion in historically Polish territories, and the gradual elimination of Poles from everyday life as well as from owning property. Anti-Polish policies were implemented by theGerman EmpireunderOtto von Bismarck,especially during theKulturkampf,and enforced up to the end of theFirst World War.[14]Organized persecution of Poles raged in the territories annexed byRussia,mainly underTsar Nicholas II.[15][16]Historic actions inspired by anti-Polonism ranged from felonious acts motivated by hatred, to physical extermination of the Polish nation, the goal of which was to eradicate the Polish state. During World War II, when most of Polish society became the object ofgenocidal policies of Nazi Germany,anti-Polonism led to an unprecedented campaign of mass murder in German-occupied Poland.[17]In the modern day, among those who often express their hostile attitude towards the Polish people are someRussianpoliticians and their far-right political parties who search for a new identity rooted in the defunct Russian Empire after the collapse of theSoviet Union.[18]

Anti-Polish stereotypes

In the Russian language, the termmazurik(мазурик), a synonym for "pickpocket", "petty thief",[19]literally means "littleMasovian".[20]The word is an example howVladimir Putin's liberaluse of colloquialismshas been gaining media attention from abroad.[21]

The "Polish plumber"cliché may symbolize the threat of cheap labor from poorer European countries to" steal "low-paying jobs in wealthier parts of Europe. On the other hand, others associate it with affordability and dependability of European migrant workers.[22]

Before theSecond Polish Republic,1918

Partitions of Poland,1795

Anti-Polish rhetoric combined with the condemnation of Polish culture was most prominent in the 18th-centuryPrussiaduring thepartitions of Poland.However, anti-Polish propaganda begins with theTeutonic Orderin the 14th century. It was a very important tool in the Order's attempt to conquer the Duchy of Lithuania which eventually failed because of Lithuania'sPersonal unionwith theCrown of the Kingdom of Polandand theChristianization of LithuaniatoCatholicism.The first major thinker to openly call for the genocide of the Polish people was the 14th century German Dominican theologianJohannes von Falkenbergwho on behalf of the Teutonic Order argued not only that Polish pagans should be killed, but that all Poles should be subject to genocide on the grounds that Poles were an inherently heretical race and that even theKing of Poland,Jogailaa Christian convert, ought to be murdered.[23][24]The assertion that Poles were heretical was largely politically motivated as the Teutonic Order desired to conquer Polish lands despite Christianity having become the dominant religion in Poland centuries prior.[25]

Germany, becoming more and more permeated with Teutonic Prussianism[vague][citation needed],continued to pursue these tactics[citation needed].For instance, David Blackbourn ofHarvard Universityspeaks of the scandalised writings of German intellectualJohann Georg Forster,who was granted a tenure atVilnius Universityby the PolishCommission of National Educationin 1784.[26]Forster wrote of Poland's "backwardness" in a similar vein to "ignorance and barbarism" of southeast Asia.[27]Such views were later repeated in the German ideas ofLebensraumand exploited by the Nazis.[28]German academics between the 18th and 20th centuries attempted to project, in the difference between Germany and Poland, a "boundary between civilization and barbarism; high German Kultur andprimitive Slavdom"(1793 racist diatribe by J.C. Schulz republished by the Nazis in 1941).[29]Prussian officials, eager to secure Polish partition, encouraged the view that the Poles were culturally inferior and in need of Prussian tutelage.[27]Such racist texts, originally published from the 18th century onwards, were republished by theGerman Reichprior to and after itsinvasion of Poland.

Frederick the GreatofPrussianourished a particular hatred and contempt for the Polish people. Following his conquest of Poland, he compared the Poles to "Iroquois"of Canada.[27]In his all-encompassing anti-Polish campaign, even the nobility of Polish background living in Prussia were obliged to pay higher taxes than those of German heritage. Polish monasteries were viewed as "lairs of idleness" and their property often seized by Prussian authorities. The prevalent Catholicism among Poles was stigmatised. ThePolish languagewas persecuted at all levels.[30]

After thePolish–Russian War in early 1600s,Poland was greatly blamed by the Russians as the cause of chaos and tyranny in Russia. The futureHouse of Romanov,who would found theRussian Empireafter taken power from theRurik dynasty,used a number of distortion activities[vague],describing Poles as backward, cruel and heartless, praising the rebellion against Poles;[31]and heavily centered around theOrthodox belief.[32]WhenTsardom of Russiainvaded Poland at theRusso-Polish war of 1650s,the Russians caused a number of atrocities, and destroyed most of Eastern Poland, sometimes joining destruction with its Ukrainian ally led byBohdan Khmelnytskyand the Swedes in the parallelSwedish invasion.[33]The war was held as a Russian triumph[according to whom?]for its attempt to destroy Poland[citation needed].

Sweden,which developed anti-Polish sentiment due to previousPolish–Swedish warsin hope to gain territorial and political influence, as well as dispute with the Polish Crown because ofSigismund III Vasa,launched an invasion known as theDeluge.[citation needed]Swedish invaders, joined force with Russian invaders in the east, together destroyed Poland[citation needed]and took away many of the Polish national treasures[citation needed],as well as committing atrocities against Poles[citation needed].The Poles were treated very brutally by Swedes, and as a result, Poland lost its wealth and was reduced in its development[vague][citation needed].Similar to Russia, Sweden hailed the destruction of Poland as a national triumph[according to whom?].[citation needed]

In the 18th century, Russia as an empire attempted to make Poland disintegrate by usingliberum veto,creating chaos and prevented reforms, as by Russian accords[vague],was against the ideal of Imperial Russia's future plan to partition Poland.[34]Russia often sent troops and carried out atrocities on Polish civilians.[35]When Poland adopted its first everConstitution of 3 May 1791,the first Constitution in Europe, Russia sent troops and brutally suppressed Polish people.[36]

When Poland lost the last vestiges of its independence in 1795 andremained partitioned for 123 years,ethnic Poles were subjected to discrimination in two areas: theGermanisation under Prussian and later German rule,andRussificationin the territories annexed byImperial Russia.[citation needed]

Being a Pole under the Russian occupation was in itself almost culpable – wrote Russian historianLiudmila Gatagova.– "Practically all of the Russian government, bureaucracy, and society were united in one outburst against the Poles." – "Rumor mongers informed the population about an order that had supposedly been given to kill [...] and take away their land."[15]Polish cultureand religion were seen as threats to Russian imperial ambitions. TsaristNamestnikssuppressed them on Polish lands by force.[37]The Russian anti-Polish campaign, which included confiscation of Polish nobles' property,[38]was waged in the areas of education, religion as well as language.[37]Polish schools and universities were closed in a stepped-up campaign of russification. In addition to executions and massdeportations of PolestoKatorgacamps,Tsar Nicholas Iestablished an occupation army at Poland's expense.[16]

The fact that Poles, unlike the Orthodox Russians, were overwhelmingly Roman Catholic gave impetus to their religious persecution. At the same time, with the emergence ofPanslavistideology, Russian writers accused the Polish nation of betraying their "Slavic family" because of their armed efforts aimed at winning independence.[39]Hostility toward Poles was present in many of Russia's literary works and media of the time.[40]

"During and after the1830-1831 insurrectionmany Russian writers voluntarily participated in anti-Polish propaganda.GogolwroteTaras Bulba,an anti-Polish novel of high literary merit, to say nothing about lesser writers. "— Prof.Vilho Harle[41]

Pushkin,together with three other poets, published a pamphlet called "On the Taking of Warsaw" to celebrate the crushing ofthe revolt.His contribution to the frenzy of anti-Polish writing comprised poems in which he hailed the capitulation of Warsaw as a new "triumph" of imperial Russia.[42]

In Prussia and later in Germany, Poles were forbidden to build homes, and their properties were targeted for forced buy-outs financed by the Prussian and subsequent German governments.Bismarckdescribed Poles, as animals (wolves), that "one shoots if one can" and implemented several harsh laws aimed at their expulsion from traditionally Polish lands. The Polish language was banned from public use, and ethnically Polish children punished at school for speaking Polish.[43]Poles were subjected to a wave of forceful evictions (Rugi Pruskie). The German government financed and encouraged settlement of ethnic Germans into those areas aiming at their geopolitical germanisation.[44]The Prussian Landtag passed laws against Catholics.[45]

Toward the end ofWorld War Iduring Poland's fight for independence,Imperial Germanymade further attempts to take control over the territories ofCongress Poland,aiming at ethnic cleansing of up to 3 million Jewish and Polish people which was meant to be followed by a new wave of settlement by ethnic Germans.[46][47][48]In August 1914, the German imperial armydestroyed the city of Kalisz,chasing out tens of thousands of its Polish citizens.[49][citation needed]

Interwar Period (1918–39)

After Poland regained its independence asthe Second Republicat the end of World War I, the question of new Polish borders could not have been easily settled against the will of her former long-term occupiers. Poles continued to be persecuted in the disputed territories, especially inSilesia.The German campaign of discrimination contributed to theSilesian Uprisings,where Polish workers were openly threatened with losing their jobs and pensions if they voted for Poland in theUpper Silesia plebiscite.[50]

At theVersailles Peace Conferenceof 1919, British historian and politicianLewis Bernstein Namier,who served as part of the British delegation, was seen as one of the biggest enemies of the newly independent Polish state in the British political sphere and in the newly-independent Poland. Namier modified the previously-proposedCurzon lineby detaching the city ofLwówfrom Poland with a version called Curzon Line "A". It was sent to Soviet diplomatic representatives for acceptance. The earlier compromised version of Curzon line which was debated at theSpa Conference of 1920was renamed Curzon Line "B".[51]

In the politics of inter-war Germany, anti-Polish feelings ran high.[52]The American historianGerhard Weinbergobserved that for many Germans in the Weimar Republic, "Poland was an abomination", Poles were "an East European species of cockroach", Poland was usually described as aSaisonstaat(a state for a season), and Germans used the phrase "Polish economy" (polnische Wirtschaft) for a situation of hopeless muddle.[52]Weinberg noted that in the 1920s–30s, leading German politicians refused to accept Poland as a legitimate nation, and hoped instead to partition Poland, probably with the help of the Soviet Union.[52]The British historianA. J. P. Taylorwrote in 1945 that National Socialism was inevitable because the Germans wanted "to repudiate the equality with the peoples of (central and) eastern Europe which had then been forced upon them" after 1918.[53]

During Stalin'sGreat Terrorin theSoviet Union,a majorethnic cleansingoperation,[54]known as thePolish Operation,[55]took place from about 25 August 1937 through 15 November 1938. According to SovietNKVDarchives, 111,091 Poles, and people accused of ties with Poland, were executed, and 28,744 were sentenced toGulaglabor camps,for a total of 139,835 Polish victims. This number constitutes 10 per cent of the officially persecuted persons during the entireYezhovshchinaperiod, with confirming NKVD documents.[56]The prosecuted Polish families were accused of anti-Soviet activities.[57][58]

Outside the Germans and Russians, the Lithuanians also developed a very strong anti-Polish hatred, partly due to historical grievances. For the Lithuanians, thePolish–Lithuanian Warof 1920, which costed the capitalVilniusto be on Polish hand, cemented anti-Polish sentiment. Virtually throughout the inter-war, anti-Polish had been omnipresent in Lithuania, and Polish minority in Lithuania faced a very harsh repression by the Lithuanian authorities.[59]The1938 Polish ultimatum to Lithuanialed to the establishment of relations, but it remained extremely difficult as Lithuania still refused to accept Vilnius as part of Poland.[60]

Ukrainians were also another people with strong anti-Polish hostility. ThePolish–Ukrainian Warof 1919 resulted in Ukraine crippled militarily and, though Poland did assist Ukraine in the eventual conflict against the Bolsheviks, but was unable to prevent an eventual occupation by theSoviets.This had led to enmity against Poland by Ukrainian nationalists, which resulted in the establishment ofOrganization of Ukrainian Nationalistsand the beginning of Ukrainian problem in Poland.[61]Assassinations of Polish officials by Ukrainian nationalists became increasingly frequent from 1930s onward.[62]

Invasion of Poland and World War II

Nazi propagandists stereotyped Poles as nationalists in order to portray Germans as victims and justify theinvasion of Poland;theGleiwitz incidentwas a Nazifalse flagto show that Germany was under Polish attack, and the killing of Germans by Poles inBromberger Blutsonntagand elsewhere was inflated to 58,000 to increase German hatred of Poles and justify the killing of Polish civilians.[63]

In October 1939, Directive No.1306 of Nazi Germany's Propaganda Ministry stated: "It must be made clear even to the German milkmaid that Polishness equals subhumanity. Poles, Jews and Gypsies are on the same inferior level... This should be brought home as aleitmotiv,and from time to time, in the form of existing concepts such as 'Polish economy', 'Polish ruin' and so on, until everyone in Germany sees every Pole, whether farm worker or intellectual, as vermin. "[64]

HistorianKarol Karskiwrites that before World War II the Soviet authorities carried out a discreditation campaign against the Poles and describes Stalin as Polonophobe.[65]

DuringWorld War IIPoles became the subject of ethnic cleansing on an unprecedented scale, including:Nazi German genocideinGeneral Government,Soviet executions and mass deportationstoSiberiafromKresy,as well asmassacres of Poles in Volhynia,a campaign of ethnic cleansing carried out in today's western Ukraine by Ukrainian nationalists. Among the 100,000 people murdered in theIntelligenzaktionoperations in 1939–1940, approximately 61,000 were members of the Polish intelligentsia.[66]Millions of citizens of Poland, both ethnic Poles and Jews, died in Germanconcentration campssuch asAuschwitz.Unknown numbers perished in Soviet "gulags"and political prisons. Reprisals against partisan activities were brutal; on one occasion 1,200 Poles were murdered in retaliation for the death of one German officer and two German officials.[67]In August 2009 the PolishInstitute of National Remembrance(IPN) researchers estimated Poland's dead (including Polish Jews) at between 5.47 and 5.67 million (due to German actions) and 150,000 (due to Soviet), or around 5.62 and 5.82 million total.[68]

Soviet policy following their 1939invasion of Polandin World War II was ruthless, and sometimes coordinated with the Nazis (see:Gestapo-NKVD Conferences). Elements ofethnic cleansingincluded Soviet mass executions of Polishprisoners of warin theKatyn Massacreand at other sites, and the exile of up to1.5 million Polish citizens,including theintelligentsia,academics, priests and Jewish Poles to forced-labor camps inSiberia.[69]

In German and Soviet war propaganda, Poles were mocked as inept for their military techniques in fighting the war. Nazi fake newsreels and forgedpseudo-documentariesclaimed that thePolish cavalry"bravely but futilely" charged German tanks in 1939, and that thePolish Air Forcewas wiped out on the ground on the opening day of the war. Neither tale was true (see:Myths of the Polish September Campaign). German propaganda staged a Polish cavalry charge in their 1941 reel called "Geschwader Lützow".[70]

Ukrainian and Lithuanian nationalists utilized the increasing racial segregation to foment anti-Polonism. Followers ofStepan Bandera(also called Banderovites) committed genocide on Poles inVolhyniaat 1943.[71]Lithuanian forces often clash with Polish forces throughout the World War II, and committed massacre on Poles with support from the Nazis.[72]

Bernard Montgomeryoften assigned blame to the failure of his operations, such asOperation Market Garden,to the Polish troops under his command.[73]Poland's relationship with the USSR during World War II was complicated. The main western Allies, the United States and the United Kingdom, understood the importance of the Soviet Union in defeating Germany, to the point of refusing to condemn Soviet propaganda which vilified their Polish ally.[74]The western Allies were even willing to help cover up theSoviet massacre at Katyn.[75]

Zofia Kossak-Szczucka,the Catholic co-founder ofZegota,the Polish resistance group which risked the German death penalty to save Jews, and who herself was sent toAuschwitz,stereotyped Jews as haters of Poles even as she characterized Poles who remained silent in the face of the Holocaust as complicit:

"The dying Jews are surrounded only byPilateswashing their hands of everything. This silence can no longer be tolerated. Whatever the incentives - it is despicable. Whoever is silent in the face of murder - becomes the murderer's accomplice. Who does not condemn - allows....our feelings towards the Jews have not changed. We continue to think of them as Poland's political, ideological and economic enemies. What's more, we are aware that they hate us more than they hate the Germans, that they think us responsible for their tragedy. Why, on what ground - that remains a mystery of the Jewish soul. "[76]

Post-war

Memorial toPolish professors murdered by the Germans,Lviv,westernUkraine,withgraffitiinUkrainian:"Death to Poles!", November 2011

UnderJoseph Stalin,thousands of soldiers of Poland's underground eg.Home Army(Armia Krajowa) and returning veterans of the Polish Armed Forces that had served with the western Allies were imprisoned, tortured bySovietNKVDagents (see:W. Pilecki,Ł. Ciepliński) and murdered followingstaged trialslike the infamousTrial of the SixteeninMoscow,Soviet Union.A similar fate awaited the "cursed soldiers".At least 40,000 members of Poland's Home Army were deported to Russia.[77]

In Britain after 1945, the British populace accepted the Polish servicemen who chose not to return to a Poland ruled by the communist regime in their decision to stay on in Britain. The Poles resident in Britain served under British command during the war,[78]but as soon as the Soviets began to make gains on the Eastern Front both public opinion and the government turned increasingly pro-Soviet.[79]Socialist supporters of the Soviet Union made the Poles out to be "warmongers", "anti-Semites" and "fascists".[80]After the war, thetrade unionsand Labour party played on the fears among the public of there not being enough jobs, food and housing to incite anti-Polish sentiments.[80]

The myth that Poland had been conducting a genocide against ethnic Germans was invented in 1940 by German nationalist writerEdwin Erich Dwinger[de]by embellishing the events of "Bloody Sunday".[81]In 1961, a book was published in Germany entitledDer Erzwungene Krieg(The Forced War) by the American historical writer andHolocaust denierDavid Hoggan,which argued that Germany did not commit aggression against Poland in 1939, but was instead the victim of an Anglo-Polish conspiracy against theReich.[82]Reviewers have often noted that Hoggan seems to have an obsessive hostility towards the Poles. His claims included that the Polish government treated Poland's German minority far worse than the German government under Adolf Hitler treated its Jewish minority.[83]In 1964, much controversy was created when two German right-wing extremist groups awarded Hoggan prizes.[84]In the 1980s, the German philosopher and historianErnst Nolteclaimed that in 1939 Poland was engaged in a campaign of genocide against its ethnic German minority, and has strongly implied that the German invasion in 1939, and all of the subsequent German atrocities in Poland during World War II were in essence justified acts of retaliation.[85]Critics, such as the British historianRichard J. Evans,have accused Nolte of distorting the facts, and have argued that in no way was Poland committing genocide against its German minority.[85]

During the political transformation of the Soviet-controlled Eastern bloc in the 1980s, the traditional German anti-Polish feeling was again openly exploited in theEast GermanyagainstSolidarność.This tactic had become especially apparent in the "rejuvenation of 'Polish jokes,' some of which reminded listeners of the spread of such jokes under the Nazis. "[86]

"Polish death camp" controversy

Main article:"Polish death camp" controversy

The expressions offensive to Poles are attributed to a number of non-Polish media in relation toWorld War II.The most prominent is a continued reference by Western news media to "Polish death camps" and "Polish concentration camps". These phrases refer to the network ofconcentration campsoperated by Nazi Germanyin occupied Poland in order to facilitate the "Final Solution",but the wording suggests that the Polish people might have been involved.[87][88][89]The PolishMinistry of Foreign Affairs,as well asPolish organizationsaround the world and allPolish governmentssince 1989, condemned the usage of such expressions, arguing that they suggest Polish responsibility for the camps. TheAmerican Jewish Committeestated in its 30 January 2005, press release: "This is not a mere semantic matter. Historical integrity and accuracy hang in the balance.... Any misrepresentation of Poland's role in the Second World War, whether intentional or accidental, would be most regrettable and therefore should not be left unchallenged."[90]

In Polish-Jewish relations

There is a stereotype that Jews are anti-Polish.[91] CardinalJózef Glempin his controversial and widely criticized speech delivered on 26 August 1989 (and retracted in 1991)[92]argued that the outbursts of antisemitism are a "legitimate form of national self-defence against Jewish anti-Polonism."[93]He "asked Jews who 'have great power over the mass media in many countries' to rein in their anti-Polonism because 'if there won't be anti-Polonism, there won't be such antisemitism among us'."[94]

In November of the same year, Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Shamirsaid Poles "drink in (anti-Semitism) with their mother's milk."[95]Polish Prime MinisterTadeusz Mazowieckisaid that "these blanket statements are the most destructive actions imaginable," and that they "do irreparable harm" to people seeking Polish-Jewish reconciliation.[95]Adam Michnikwrote forThe New York Timesthat "almost all Poles react very sharply when confronted with the charge that Poles get their anti-Semitism 'with their mothers' milk'." Such verbal attacks – according to Michnik – are interpreted by anti-Semites as "proof of the international anti-Polish Jewish conspiracy".[96]

InRethinking Poles and Jews,Robert Cherry and Annamaria Orla-Bukowska said that anti-Polonism and anti-Semitism remain "grotesquely twinned into our own time. We cannot combat the one without combating the other."[97]

The term "anti-Polonism" is said to have been used for campaign purposes by political parties such as theLeague of Polish Families(Polish:Liga Polskich Rodzin) or the defunctSelf-Defence of the Republic of Poland(Polish:Samoobrona Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej) and organizations such as the Association against Anti-Polonism led by Leszek Bubel, leader of thePolish National Partyand a former presidential candidate.[98]Bubel was taken to court by a group of ten Polish intellectuals who filed a lawsuit against him for "violating the public good". Among the signatories were former Foreign MinisterWładysław Bartoszewskiand filmmakerKazimierz Kutz.[99]

According to Polish historianJoanna Michlic,the term is used in Poland also as an argument against the self-critical intellectuals who discuss Polish-Jewish relations, accusing them of "anti-Polish positions and interests." For example, historianJan T. Grosshas been accused of being anti-Polish when he wrote about crimes such as theJedwabne pogrom.In her view, the charge is "not limited to arguments that can objectively be classified as anti-Polish—such as equating the Poles with the Nazis—but rather applied to any critical inquiry into the collective past. Moreover, anti-Polonism is equated with anti-Semitism."[100]

For the 1994 anniversary of theWarsaw Uprising,a PolishGazeta Wyborczajournalist, Michał Cichy, wrote a review of a collection of 1943 memoirs entitledCzy ja jestem mordercą?(Am I a murderer?) byCalel Perechodnik,[101]aJewish ghetto policemanfrom Otwock and member of the "Chrobry II Battalion",[102]alleging (as hearsay) that about 40 Jews were killed by a group of Polish insurgents during the 1944 Uprising.[103]Unlike the book (later reprinted with factual corrections), the actual review by Cichy elicited protests,[102]while selected fragments of his article were confirmed by three Polish historians.[104]Prof.Tomasz Strzemboszaccused Cichy of practicing a 'distinct type of racism,' and chargedGazeta WyborczaeditorAdam Michnikwith 'cultivating a species of tolerance that is absolutely intolerant of antisemitism yet regards anti-Polonism andanti-goyismas something altogether natural'. "[105]Michnik responded to the controversy, praising the heroism of theAKby asking: "Is it an attack on Polish people when the past is being explored to seek the truth?".[106]Cichy later apologized for the tone of his article.[107]

Polish historianAdam Leszczyńskistates that "Antisemitism is an extensive doctrine with racist or religious grounds that led to the Holocaust. 'Antipolonism' is at best a generalized aversion to Poles."[13]

"Polish jokes"

Main article:Polish joke

"Polish jokes" belong to a category of conditional jokes, meaning that their understanding requires knowledge ofwhat a Polish joke is.Conditional jokes depend on the audience'saffectivepreference—on their likes and dislikes. Though these jokes might be understood by many, their success depends entirely on the negative disposition of the listener.[108]

Presumably the first Polish jokes by Germandisplaced personsfleeing war-torn Europe were brought to theUnited Statesin the late 1940s. These jokes were fueled by ethnic slurs disseminated by GermanNational Socialistpropaganda, which attempted to justify the Nazis' murdering of Poles by presenting them as "dreck"—dirty, stupid and inferior.[109]It is also possible that some early AmericanPolackjokes from Germany were originally told before World War II in disputed border regions such asSilesia.[110]

There is debate as to whether the early "Polish jokes" brought to states such asWisconsinby German immigrants relate directly to the wave of American jokes of the early 1960s. A "provocative critique of previous scholarship on the subject"[111]has been made by British writerChristie DaviesinThe Mirth of Nations,which suggests that "Polish jokes" did not originate in Nazi Germany but much earlier, as an outgrowth of regional jokes rooted in "social class differences reaching back to the nineteenth century." According to Davies, American versions of Polish jokes are an unrelated "purely American phenomenon" and do not express the "historical Old World hatreds of the Germans for the Poles. However, Hollywood in the 1960s and 1970s imported the subhuman-intelligence jokes about Poles from old Nazi propaganda."[112]

For decades, Polish Americans have been the subject of derogatory jokes originating inanti-immigrantstereotypes that had developed in the U.S. before the 1920s. During thePartitions of Poland,Polish immigrantscame to the United Statesin considerable numbers, fleeing mass persecution at home. They were taking the only jobs available to them, usually requiring physical labor. The same ethnic and job-related stereotypes persisted even as Polish Americans joined the middle class in the mid-20th century. "The constant derision, often publicly disseminated through the mass media, caused serious identity crises, feeling of inadequacy, and low self-esteem for many Polish Americans." In spite of the plight of Polish people under Cold War communism, negative stereotypes about Polish Americans endured.[113]

Since the late 1960s,Polish Americanorganizations have made continuous effort to challenge the negative stereotyping of the Polish people once prevalent in American media.[113]The Polish American Guardian Society has argued that NBC-TV used the tremendous power of TV to introduce and push subhuman intelligence jokes about Poles (that were worse than prior simple anti-immigrant jokes) using the repetitive big lie technique to degrade Poles.[citation needed]The play called "Polish Joke" byDavid Iveshas resulted in a number of complaints by the Polonia in the US.[114]The "Polish jokes" heard in the 1970s were particularly offensive, so much so that the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs approached the U.S. State Department about that, however unsuccessfully. The syndrome receded only after CardinalKarol Wojtyławas elected Pope, and Polish jokes became passé.[115]Gradually, Americans have developed a more positive image of their Polish neighbors in the following decades.[113]

In 2014, a German speaker joked during theEuropean Aquatics Championshipsthat the Polish team would be coming back home in "our cars".[116]

Since theEU enlargementin 2004, where ten new countries joined in the single-largest expansion to date (Cyprus,Czech Republic,Estonia,Hungary,Latvia,Lithuania,Malta,Poland,SlovakiaandSlovenia), the UK has experienced mass immigration from Poland (seePoles in the United Kingdom). It is estimated that thePolish Britishcommunity has doubled in size since 2004; with Poland now having overtakenIndiaas the largest foreign-born country of origin in 2015 (831,000 Poles to 795,000 Indian-born persons).[citation needed][117]Anti-Polish sentiment in the UK is often related to the issue of immigration.[118]There have been some instances of anti-Polish sentiment and hostility towards Polish immigrants.[119]Thefar-rightBritish National Partyargued for immigration from (Central and) Eastern Europe to be stopped and for Poles to be deported.[120][121]

In 2007, Polish people living in London reported 42 ethnically motivated attacks against them, compared with 28 in 2004.[122][123]TheConservativeMPDaniel Kawczynski,of Polish origin himself, said that the increase in violence towards Poles is in part "a result of the media coverage by theBBC"whose reporters" won't dare refer to controversial immigration from other countries. "[124][125][126][127]Kawczynski voiced his criticism of the BBC in the House of Commons for "using the Polish community as a cat's paw to try to tackle the thorny issue of mass, unchecked immigration" only because against Poles "it'spolitically correctto do so. "[124]

In 2009, theFederation of Poles in Great Britainand thePolish Embassyin London withBarbara Tuge-Erecinskaraised a number of formal complaints – including with the Press Complaints Commission – about news articles in theDaily Mail,which the Federation claimed "displayed anti-Polish sentiment". The newspaper denied this was its intention, and the PCC brokered a settlement between the parties.[128][129][130][131][132][133]

The Guardianhas been noted for a number of other controversies. On 14 October 2009, Nazi-hunterEfraim Zuroffalleged that: "the second world war narrative [...] has been distorted since independence and the transition to democracy to make it more palatable to their electorate and to minimize the role of local collaborators in Holocaust crimes."[134]On 20 October 2009,The Guardian'sJonathan Freedlandsaid: "We are meant to be friendly towards the newest members of the European Union. But the truth is that several of these" emerging democracies "have reverted to a brand of ultra-nationalistic politics that would repel most voters in western Europe. It exists in Poland". In response to the above articles,Timothy Garton Ashwrote in the same paper on 23 December: "In my experience, the automatic equation of Poland withCatholicism,nationalismandantisemitism– and thence a slide to guilt by association with the Holocaust – is still widespread. This collective stereotyping does no justice to the historical record. "[135]

Also in 2008, the Polish ambassador sent an official protest to thePress Complaints CommissionaboutThe Times.[136]On 26 July 2008,Giles Corenpublished a comment piece with theethnic slur'Polack' used to describe Polish immigrants. He accused Poland of complicity in the six million Jewish deaths ofThe Holocaust,[137][138][139]prompting not only an official letter of complaint toThe Times,but also anearly day motionin theBritish parliament,followed by an editorial inThe Economist.[140][141][142][143][144]The ambassador, Tuge-Erecinska, explained that the article was "unsupported by any basic historic or geographic knowledge," and that "the issue of Polish-Jewish relations has been unfairly and deeply falsified" by Coren's "aggressive remarks" and "contempt".[136][145][146]Coren reacted by tellingThe Jewish Chronicle:"Fuck the Poles".[146][147][148]The case has been referred to theEuropean Court of Human Rights.[147][149]However, the case was unsuccessful as Poles are not classified as an ethnic minority. The editor ofThe Jewish Chronicle,Stephen Pollard,commented on 6 August 2009: "There are few things more despicable than anti-Semitism, but here's one of them: using a false charge of anti-Semitism for political gain."[150]

On 6 October 2009,Stephen Frywas interviewed byJon SnowonChannel 4 News[151][152]as a signatory of a letter to then-Conservative PartyleaderDavid Cameronexpressing concern about the party's relationship with the right-wing PolishLaw and JusticeParty in theEuropean Parliament.[153]During the interview, Fry stated: "There has been a history, let's face it, in Poland of a right-wing Catholicism which has been deeply disturbing for those of us who know a little history, and rememberwhich side of the border Auschwitz was on... "The remark prompted a complaint from the Polish Embassy in London, as well as an editorial inThe Economistand criticism from British Jewish historianDavid Cesarani.[154][155][156][157]Fry has since posted an apology on his personal weblog, in which he stated: "It was a rubbishy, cheap and offensive remark that I have been regretting ever since... I take this opportunity to apologize now."[158]On 30 October 2009, the Chief Rabbi of Poland,Michael Schudrich,complained about this new British political row playing on a "'false and painful stereotype that all Poles are antisemitic', whereas the truth was that the problem was around the same there as elsewhere in Europe."[159]

In January 2014, a Polish man, whose helmet was emblazoned with the flag of Poland,[160]claimed he was attacked by a group of fifteen men outside a pub inDagenham,London.[161]Photos were taken of him and his motorbike. The victim blamed xenophobic speeches of the ConservativePrime MinisterDavid Cameron.[162] During the same month inBelfastthere was seven attacks on Polish houses within ten days, in which stones and bricks were thrown at the windows.[163]

Following theBritish referendum of EU membership,there were more cases of Polonophobic occurrences including anti-Polish leaflets distributed inHuntingdon[164]and graffiti against thePolish Cultural CentreinHammersmith.[165]

Central and Eastern European pupils, including the Polish ones, have experienced increased levels of xenophobic bullying since the Brexit vote.[166]

Anti-Polish sentiment in the UK has been the subject of an academic study.[167]

Israel

The politicianYair Lapidclaimed that his father's grandmother, who was killed in theAuschwitz concentration camp,"was murdered in Poland by Germans and Poles".[168][169]Lapid also wrote that there were "Polish death camps" (seePolish death camps controversy).[170]

In a 2018 interview,Anna Azari,theIsraeliambassador to Poland, said that "We need to work to reduce anti-Semitism, but work is also needed for there to be less anti-Polish sentiment" and "Anti-Polonism occurs not only in Israel, but also in Jewish circles outside Israel."[171]

In February 2019, Poland's prime ministerMateusz Morawieckicanceled plans for his country to send a delegation to a meeting in Jerusalem on Monday after the acting Israeli foreign minister,Israel Katzsaid, "Poles collaborated with the Nazis, definitely. Collaborated with the Nazis. As (former Israeli Prime Minister) Yitzhak Shamir said — his father was murdered by Poles — he said that from his point of view they sucked anti-Semitism with their mothers' milk. You can't sugarcoat this history."[172]Zvi Bar,an Israelibrigadier generaland politician, said that Katz was speaking as a 'student' ofYitzhak Shamir,"the father of Polish genetic theory" and said: "All right, there were Poles and Hungarians who collaborated, there were and are anti-Semitic Poles and Hungarians. But why generalize? Why beracist,why accuse these nations and attribute to them inherent anti-Semitic characteristics? "[173]

On 15 May 2019, Poland's Ambassador to Israel,Marek Magierowski,was spat on and attacked outside theEmbassy of Poland, Tel Avivby a 65-year-old Israeli architect, Arik Lederman,[174]who was arrested following the assault.[175]Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said: "We express our fullest sympathy to the ambassador and our shock at the attack," while the suspect apologized and said he had been provoked earlier by a Polish Embassy employee using an anti-Semitic slur against him.[176]The Polish embassy in turn disputed the man's account, and said it hasCCTVevidence to disprove it.[177]

United States

On 14 November 2007,Foxaired an episode ofBack to Youcreated byChristopher Lloyd andSteven Levitancalled "Something's Up There",which contained a controversial anti-Polishslur. The slur involved Marsh trying to convince the show's lonePolish-Americancharacter, Gary, to go bowling after work by saying: "Come on, it's in your blood, likekielbasaand collaborating with theNazis."Fox later apologised on 20 November 2007. It vowed never to broadcast the line of dialogue again either in repeats and/or syndicated broadcasts. Fox stated that," The line was delivered by a character who is known for being ignorant, clueless, and saying outlandish things. Allowing the line to remain in the show, however, demonstrated poor judgment, and we apologise to anyone who was offended. "[178]

Russia

In August 2005, a series of allegedly organised attacks against Polish diplomats took place inMoscow,[179]which prompted the then-Polish PresidentAleksander Kwaśniewskito call on the Russian Government to stop them.[180]An employee with the Polish embassy in Moscow was hospitalised in serious condition after being assaulted in broad daylight near the embassy by unidentified men. Three days later, another Polish diplomat was beaten up near the embassy. The following day the Moscow correspondent for the Polish dailyRzeczpospolitawas attacked and beaten up by a group of Russians. It is widely believed that the attacks were organized as revenge for the mugging of four Russian youth in a public park inWarsawby a group of skinheads, several days earlier.[180]

The professional volleyball playerAleksey Spiridonovhas publicly repeated extremePolonophobicstatements which have been widely cited in Russia.[181]

Lithuania

The former "Solidarity"leader and Polish PresidentLech Wałęsacriticised the Lithuanian Government over discrimination against thePolish minority,which included the enforcedLithuanization of Polish surnamesand the removal of bilingual Polish language street signs (despite Lithuanian laws not permitting such signs) in municipalities with predominantly Polish-speaking population. In 2011, Wałęsa rejectedLithuania'sOrder of Vytautas the Greatciting the mistreatment of the Polish minority.[182]

Ukraine

In his 2007 bookHeroes and Villains,in the context of bitter Polish-Ukrainian relations concerning the mutual massacres during World War II,David R. Marplesasserted that (at the time of the writing of the book) there were "no Ukrainian organizations and press organs that specialize in anti-Polish propaganda".[183]However different interpretations of these bitter World War II events have led to a sharp deterioration of the relations between the nations since 2015. In April 2017 theUkrainian Institute of National Remembranceforbade the exhumation of Polish victims of the 1943massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galiciaas part of the broader action of halting the legalization of Polish memorial sites in Ukraine, in a retaliation for the dismantling of a monument to UPA soldiers inHruszowice,Eastern Poland.[184][185]

Polish PresidentAndrzej Dudaexpressed his concerns with appointment to high Ukrainian offices of people expressing nationalistic anti-Polish views. The Ukrainian foreign ministry stated that there is no general anti-Polish sentiment in Ukraine.[186]In 2017, Polish Foreign MinisterWitold Waszczykowskiannounced plans to bar Ukrainians with anti-Polish views, as a reaction to the disrespect to the Polish cemetery inLviv.[187]

Germany

See also:Anti-German sentiment § Poland

Following the accession of Poland to theEuropean Union,Germany–Poland relationshave improved.[citation needed]In 2016,Martin Schulz,a German Social Democrat, criticized the Duda's government in Poland and referred it as a "coup". This had led to criticism in Poland, although Polish government had downplayed the issue.[188]In 2020, President of PolandAndrzej Dudaaccused German media of misinterpreting his words and the German government for being Polonophobe regarding coverage about2020 Polish presidential election.[189]

Netherlands

In February 2012, Geert Wilders's Freedom Party launched a "hotline" to collect complaints about Poles and other Eastern Europeans. The website caused criticism from politicians for being "anti-Polish".[190]The Polish embassy in the Netherlands requested the Dutch government to shut down the website.[191]

A 2015 survey showed that 49% of new Polish arrivals in the Netherlands have had to deal with discrimination.[192]
