Philo-Semitic Violence: Poland’s Jewish Past in New Polish Narratives addresses the growing popularity of philo-Semitic violence in Poland between the 2000 revelation of Polish participation in the Holocaust and the 2015 authoritarian turn.
Elżbieta Janicka and Tomasz Żukowski examine phenomena termed a "new opening in Polish-Jewish relations," thought to stem from sociocultural change and the posthumous inclusion of those subjected to anti-Semitic violence.
