My current project
talks about how Polish documentaries and feature films tell the story of the
so-called March 1968. I titled this book "March Disgrace. March 1968 in Polish films".
In 1967, the Polish
communist authorities sided with the Soviet-backed Arab countries, which lost
the so-called Six-Day War with Israel. Consequently, diplomatic relations
between Poland and Israel were severed, and an anti-Semitic campaign, lasting
over a year, began in Poland.
As a result of it, over 15,000 Polish Jews were
forced to emigrate - almost all who lived in Poland at that time.
