Judeopolonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Judeopolonia - antisemitic conspiracy theory positing an alleged future Jewish domination of Poland.[1][2] The idea had its roots in an 1858 book by Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, but did not gain currency in antisemitic tracts until around the turn of the century (see also Żydokomuna). [1] In 1912, author Teodor Jeske-Choiński had Jews in his book rhetorically say: "If you do not allow us to establish a 'Judeo-Polonia state' and a nation of 'Judeo-Polish people,' we will strangle you."[1]
This myth has been revived every so often in connection with the Bodenheimer plan (League of East European States), most notably by the author Andrzej Leszek Szcześniak in his 2001 book Judeopolonia.[2]
