these two men represent two generations of jewish life in warsaw.both accuse poland's right-wing populist government of not doing enough to combat anti-semitism. right-wing nationalist publications claim poland is under attack by jews and print caricatures like this. >> you need to wash your hands after that. >> what is this? i mean, how can that be? why is this happening now? >> it's happening now because the entire issue of the new polish law has brought matters to a boiling point. but this is an issue that has existed throughout modern poland and which has existed even under communism and re-emerged after the fall of communism. >> poland's new holocaust law took effect this month. it's now a criminal offence to suggest poland was complicit in the extermination of jews during the nazi occupation. gebert himself wrote a column stating just that for the "daily gazeta wyborcza." he says he could potentially be charged for this. >> i state that numerous members of the polish nation bear co-responsibility for some nazi crimes committed by the third rei

michael shad riches poland's chief rabbi born in new york he's called warsaw home for close to threedecades he's helped to rebuild poland's jewish community following the fall of communism especially in the capital warsaw a synagogue was desecrated by the germans during the holocaust during the communist era the jewish community here kept a low profile today they're proud that the communities thriving again but few will discuss this renaissance on camera for fear of an anti semitic backlash or new situation we're hearing things we haven't heard. since think in sixty eight exactly fifty years. there is no place for you in poland i'll have to go to israel. and you see the character. and there's been some cases nothing physical. fifty years ago in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight thousands of jews including many holocaust survivors left poland as the result of an anti zionist campaign by the communist regime. but journalists constantly gave out stayed he was one of the few practicing jews in communist poland. his son arrives for a visit these two men represent two generations of je

he shows us parts of the warsaw ghetto where more than four hundred thousand jews were forced to livein appalling conditions he says a polish priest at this conflict church was an anti-semite yet he helped jews hide from the nazis. and anti semitic rhetoric in poland doesn't have the same consequences it does in germany you will see. chief rabbi michael should rich is now demanding that polish politicians take a firm stand no place for anti-semitism in poland we know what it can do we've seen it here before but we in two thousand and eighteen whether we're from the right or the left at the center we will not tolerate anti-semitism. otherwise the rabbi fears there could be another mass exodus of jews from poland. back in two thousand and ten iceland was reeling from a catastrophic banking crisis and the eruption of a volcano that disrupted flights across europe thanks to a national airline with a generous start over policy and the popularity of a certain television program filmed there the resulting explosion in tourism save the country's economy but such benefits are not with other pi

here at this right—wing club in central warsaw, liberalism is under attack.ing all about concerns over the pope's policies towards gay marriage and divorce, but it goes much deeper than that. people here have big issues with the whole subject of western democracy itself. we were robbed, we have debts. most of the rules were very poor, very bad. we were servants, servants to the western capitalists coming to poland from 1989. injan's view, the majority of poles have seen few real benefits since the fall of communism. who regained freedom, i'm asking? who? was communists, their friends, their families, their supporters, that's it. 0ne—third is for the rest of the people. you should know it in the west. very simple. we should really pursue our own way and our own tradition. of course it's very difficult, but there is a good saying, can you count? if you can, count on yourself. but if poland carries on down this path, the biggest beneficiary of eu grants can't count on the support of the eu. brussels has condemned its move to take over the appointment and discipl

could see warsaw stripped of its voting rights do you think that the e.u. though will actually make good on that threat. i think the threat is a slash as you are not using the last point of threats and distinctions so was the european commission is playing i was reading those saying well we see there are some things not going right in poland which is absolutely true but they of course do not want to use the sanctions because it's actually very destructive both for poland on for the european commission but i mean that rhetoric is that enough though to get poland to make some changes more in the favor of democracy well i think this will be economically directly and so so this will be something like through the problem of rule of law and poland for the next three four five years or something like this and i think both sides are very unhappy about the situation of what days so much at stake in the relationship we thank you so much for on a price my our coach and eastern european specialists at the european academy in berlin we thank you for your insight. well n
