Call for Papers
No doubt, it is impossible in a short blogpost to cover the complexity of a topic such as “The Jewish Minority in Inter-war Poland” or to delineate the changes over two turbulent decades. Nevertheless, some of the author’s statements are misleading and do not convey the atmosphere of the time.
This is the third blogpost of the “Minorities in Contemporary and Historical Perspectives” series, which looks at majority-minority relations in a multi-disciplinary and diachronic perspective. Today’s contribution, by Professor Yoav Peled (Tel Aviv University), discusses the difficult situation of the Jewish minority in interwar Poland.

The Catalan independence row, the persecution of the Rohingya minority in Burma, persistent problems for North-American indigenous communities to defend their lands, and violence against people of Baha’is religion in Yemen, all these and other similar situations bear witness of the still strained relationship between majorities and minorities in the contemporary world.
