Abstract
The so-called March events 1968 in Poland are not much known abroad, but also in Poland they were perceived first of all as a generational and biographical issue for a long time. They consisted of nationwide student protests and a massive anti-Semitic campaign, instigated by the propaganda of the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR). As a consequence about 15.000 Poles of Jewish background were forced to leave the country. The commemorations of 2008 showed that the March events are becoming part of the Polish collective memory.Downloads
