Polish-Jewish relations have always been a complex thing.

The Soviet-Puppet Communist regime didn’t help matters when they kicked out most of Poland’s remaining Jews in 1968 during the Anti-Zionist purge.

With due respect dfw -- I think it's only been complex since the mid-1800s with the rise of nationalism

Before that and especially in the old Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, Jews could live peacefully and they were supportive of the Polish kings and nobility even in times when Poland was invaded by Swedes, Russians, Germans and Turks

There were no pogroms in the commonwealth as in England or France or Germany.
