Why do Jews and Poles not get along?

Travel Info
This might open a huge can of worms, so please don't anyone get offended or overly-passionate. Just some facts, and maybe personal experiences. Historically, the Poles (especially under King Casimir in the 1300s) allowed entry to the largest number of Jews in Europe and left them their rights and freedoms. Although joked about and sometimes persecuted, they were generally respected and favored by kings for their business savy. They prospered and were in some high positions, even adding to the culture (ex: Bagels were invented in Poland by the Jews, among other things). In the 20th Century, especially a little before, then during, and after WW2, they hated each other. This hatred for the most part lasts until today. What exactly ruined their relationship during that time? I have read and heard a lot on this subject, so I have many facts and personal experiences. But I was curious what others think or know about the sour Polish-Jewish relations recently.

Travel Tips

I do not agree that Jews and Poles do not get along. On the contrary, even in the bleak years of World War Two, when Germans found Poland a convenient site for implementation of their Holocaust plan, a great number of Poles helped Jews flee from the ghettos and hid them even until the end of the war. And all that, facing imminent death, when discovered by the German invaders. Consider Irena Sendler, for instance - but no famous Hollywood director ever told her story of saving in excess of two thousand Jewish children.
Of course, there were Poles who acted despicably: took money for hiding Jews or even for not telling the Germans that someone else was hiding them. True - but there are rats in every community, and the Polish underground Home Army made all the best they could to eradicate the vermin. So no, it was not during WW2 that something went wrong.
Perhaps some resentment was there during the Stalinist years, when it appeared that most of the oppressive security force consisted of people of Jewish origin "imported" from Russia. But after Stalin's death the security police was disbanded and the communist regime became a little less oppressive, so the resentment subsided - at least until 1968, when during a conflict within the communist party, a faction consisting of "true Polish nationals" (ironically, led by a man of Ukrainian origin) utilized the dramatic developments of that year to arrange a purge of Jews located on various levels of the party hierarchy, in which many ordinary people suffered, because they were ordered to emigrate to Israel. Still, ordinary people hated to see them suffer - but what could they do?
After the downfall of the communist regime, much effort has been made towards correcting (if possible) that injustice: the decree of forced emigration was withdrawn and the Polish citizenship reinstated to those who accepted. And no, there is nothing sour in Polish-Jewish relations at present: Polish citizens of Jewish ethnic origin have taken top positions in the government (a Deputy Prime Minister, for instance), in the media (the largest Polish daily paper)... well, perhaps not in the Catholic Church (though with one of the bishops I would not be so sure...).
If there is any resentment, it is rather due to incompetent media people, who (for short, they say) name German concentration and death camps in Poland - "Polish concentration camps". This is something that makes proud Polish people mad.

Because the treaty of Versailles created by the League of Nations caused Europe to change and that caused conflicts between countries like Germany hated the United States because the United States made Germany pay reparations for the World War I and different countries fought each other for land and other reasons. The Jewish people had opinions that were different from polish people and that caused fights and they hated each other. So until this day, some Jewish people hate Polish people just like how clowns hate mimes and mouse hates cats
jews thank in god for saving the world but back then in old testament the jews and the poles wanted to srusify god(jesus) when they did the jews thanked him when time had past and still thepoles say if any pole is freinds with a jew they will be sent to die its really sad why does the poles need to kill friend ship over the world
I'm not really sure and wish I knew more....but from what I see I think alot of it is partly because many many Poles died in WW2 because of Germany and Russia. My grandfather and hundreds and hundreds of Poles were sent to Siberia by Stalin in camps and many died there, also when Poland was attacked by Hitler and the Nazis thousands and thousands died as well. YET when your in school they make it a point to mention ONLY the jews! Truth is more jews did die than any other race in WW2 but does that mean they are the only ones who need to be remembered!
.....And perhaps the Jews feel like the Poles couldve done more to help them. Shouldve tried to stop alot of what was happening before it escalated. You know someone should have tried to stick up for them and not believe all the ignorant propaganda that Hitler and the nazis tried to put out.

Also before WW2 there was alot of grudges against the Jews because they owned many many businesses and horded their money away while many germans and poles were left empty handed after WW1. Germans and Poles suffered badly after WW1.

Anyway those are my opinions on why the jews and poles do not still get along. And do not mean to offend anyone or any race in saying them. I believe the Jews no matter if they had alot of business and money or not should not have been blamed for all the problems the poor had. I think what they went though during WW2 was HORRIBLE and DESPICABLE.... :(
i think you are wrong... there is nothing between poles and the jews... during the 2nd ww, the anti jewish trend was in full bloom to say so all across the europe. but after that, and since almost all of europe is now part of the democratic world, things like hating the jews and so on are long past...

the fact that in some countries there are skinheads goups or nationalistic organisations has nothing more to do with jews, today they pick up a new target: the immigrants.
I don't know but but I think that Polish people don't get along with Jewish people because the Jewish people don't believe in God which Polish people want them to.
