| Description |
In the immediate postwar period, the Church in Poland failed to respond to Jewish leaders' requests to publicly condemn anti-Jewish violence, including the Kielce pogrom. Church leaders, like Cardinal Hlond, continued to be influenced by prewar stereotypes, including the association of Jews with communism. The existence of antisemitism in Poland was denied by Church officials, the Catholic press, and lay intellectuals, who all saw the Poles as the main victims of the war and as rescuers of Jews rather than as victimizers. Sympathy for Holocaust survivors was not a concern of the Church, which desired to lead Poland spiritually and politically in a different direction from that of the communists, who did condemn antisemitism.
