WARSAW, Poland — The leaders of Poland’s Jewish community have written to the country’s most powerful politician, urging him to denounce rising anti-Semitism which they say is leaving them on edge.

Anna Chipczynska, the head of Warsaw’s Jewish community, told The Associated Press on Thursday the letter to Jaroslaw Kaczynski was sent last week. She said the community hadn’t yet received a reply.

In the letter she and Leslaw Piszewski, who oversees all Jewish communities in Poland, said they fear that Poland is becoming less secure for Jews.

They noted “an intensification of anti-Semitic attitudes in Poland, a brutality of language and behavior, some of which are directed against our community.”

3. Just dont understand the continued hatred of Jews, who do nothing but go to work.

Just like the rest of us.
I have a Jewish neighbor. The only way I even know that is from talking to her. So why would I care that she is Jewish?? Why would I be afraid or angry at her?? They dont demand special treatment of any other such nonsense

4. My family immigrated to America from Warsaw in 1911.

They were Jewish from Poland but never thought of themselves as Polish because Poland didn't..
