There has been .a steady increase in anti-Semitism in
Poland since martial Iaw^
was declared in there,
according to reports arriving here. Anti-Semitic incidents have been fanned by
government circles in their
campaign against Solidarity.   -
According to information
reaching the American
Jewish Committee's European office in Paris, anti-Semitic posters are now being
put up in Warsaw and other
cities. These, however, are
being torn down by the
Polish population almost as
fast as they are put up, it was
reported by the AJCommit-
tee European representative, Nives Fox.
Refugees , coming out of
Poland on the Chopin Express in Vienna have
brought with the pamphlets
being handed out that charge
Jews with buying up air the
food in the country to sell on
the black market. At the
same time, there are reports
that Jews are being turned
away from bread lines.
----Polish—radio"reports denouncing Jack Kuron, the
leader* of the liberal Polish
organization KOR, have depicted him as being in contact with "Jewish emigres."
The Grunwald Union, described by the American
Jewish Congress as an an^i-
Semitic organization, is disseminating the -canard that
the present struggle for freedom in Poland is the result of
.subversive efforts by
"100,000 Jews disguised
under Polish names."
A report from Warsaw
'quoted an article in the official government newspaper,
Trybuna Ludu, attacking
two prominent Solidarity advisers, Bronislaw Geremek
and Adam Michnik, for their
"Zionist sympathies." ,
Geremek, a leading advisor to* Solidarity leader
Lech Walesa, is a particular
target for anti-Semitic at-

Ina Sue Romick and Gail
Hollander, members of the
Columbus Section, National
Council of Jewish Women,
joined more than 400 Council
leaders from around Uie
country in Washington, D.C.-
recently to attend the organization's 1981 Joint Program
Institute (JPI). The event offered intensive advocacy
training in the areas, of
public policy and family self-
sufficiency, and Israel and
American Foreign Policy.
The delegates received de-
failed legislative and federal
agency briefings, focusing
on the implant of the Government's policies on NCJW's
priorities—women's issues,
aging, children and youth, as
well as on American foreign
policy toward Israel and the
Middle East. The Columbus
women returned equipped to
develop for the local section
a corps of well-traine"d advocates at the grass roots level.
While in Washington, the
women had an opportunity to
put advocacy into action,
standing vigil at the Soviet
Embassy on behalf of Soviet
Jews. They also met with
Senator Metzenbaum and
Congressman Bob Shamansky to express concerns on'
issues covered in the
Institute.
NCJW sponsored the Insti:
tute, as an expression of its
concern for service projects
aimed at improving the
quality of life for individuals
of all ages, races, religious
and socio-economic levels in
the United States and Israel.

in over 200 Sections throughout the country v
