Tom,
I'll just give you few examples of "Polish antisemitism":
- If you check the Yad Vashem (Authority for the Remembrance of the Martyrs and Heroes of the Holocaust) "Righteous Among the Nations" (non-Jews who saved the lives of Jews) list, you will see that most of them were Poles.
- ONLY in occupied Poland the punishment for helping Jews was death. Entire villages and families were executed for this "crime". Why? Because Germans knew that Poles were "notorious criminals" not easily willing to give up their Jewish friends and neighbors.
- ... just "google" for Irena Sendler.

The sad thing is that personally I hear and read SO much bull**** about "Polish antisemitism" I starting believe in it.
