A History of Catholic AntisemitismPoland

A History of Catholic Antisemitism: Poland [Although its overall history has been peppered with antisemitic riots and pogroms in response to Catholic anti-Jewish defamation and political unrest,1 Poland in the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period served as a refuge for Jews, and Jewish orthodoxy flourished there as perhaps nowhere else. In the late eighteenth century, about 80 percent of the world’s Jews lived in Poland.2 Catholic Poles generally coexisted with the large Jewish population whose status was confirmed by secular law and whose presence well-served the Polish economy.3] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Although its overall history has been peppered with antisemitic riots and pogroms in response to Catholic anti-Jewish defamation and political unrest,1 Poland in the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern period served as a refuge for Jews, and Jewish orthodoxy flourished there as perhaps nowhere else. In the late eighteenth century, about 80 percent of the world’s Jews lived in Poland.2 Catholic Poles generally coexisted with the large Jewish population whose status was confirmed by secular law and whose presence well-served the Polish economy.3]
