WINNER, KULCZYCKI BOOK PRIZE IN POLISH STUDIES In 1922, the new
Republic of Poland democratically elected its first president,
Gabriel Narutowicz. Because his supporters included a Jewish
political party, an opposing faction of antisemites demanded his
resignation. Within hours, bloody riots erupted in Warsaw, and less
than a week later the president was assassinated. In the wake of
these events, the radical right asserted that only "ethnic Poles"
should rule the country, while the left silently capitulated to
this demand. As Paul Brykczynski tells this gripping story, he
explores the complex role of antisemitism, nationalism, and
violence in Polish politics between the two World Wars. Though
focusing on Poland, the book sheds light on the rise of the
antisemitic right in Europe and beyond, and on the impact of
violence on political culture and discourse.
