State prosecutors in Poland are launching an investigation against members of Poland's ex-Communist Party on suspicion of inciting anti-Semitimism that led to an exodus of Polish Jews in the late 1960s, a state institute said Saturday.
"In light of gathered documentation, there is no doubting the fact that at the beginning of 1967, central Communist Party authorities started calling for hatred ... directed against people of Jewish descent, and the operation then moved to the local level, setting in across the country," the institute stated.
According to the statement, more than 11,000 Jews applied for immigration papers during the anti-Semitic purge, a dramatic increase from the early 1960s.
