EJP | News | Petition urges automatic citizenship for Poland's 1968 Jewish exiles: "The victims of the purge, many of whom emigrated to Israel or the United states, were stripped of their Polish citizenship and their properties were expropriated by the state.
OdpowiedzUsuńUpon departure from Poland, their Polish passports were also confiscated and replaced with a "travel document" that did not allow them to return.
"Among communist crimes, the infamy of March 1968 remains an event which weighs particularly on the Polish conscience," reads the petition signed among others by award-winning film directors Andrzej Wajda and Agnieszka Holland as well as Nobel-prize winning poet Wislawa Szymborska.
"Anyone who lost their citizenship due to the 1968 anti-Semitic campaign must regain it," reads the appeal published Friday in Poland's leading liberal daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
The petition was launched on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the March 8, 1968 pro-freedom student protests which the communist regime used as an excuse to begin its anti-Semitic campaign.
During a 2006 visit to Israel, Kaczynski vowed Polish citizenship would be returned to victims of the purges. But with no blanket legislation covering the issue, exiled Jews are left having to jump numerous bureaucratic hurdles in order to regain citizenship.
A majority of the exiles have refused to take this route, deeming it an additional humiliation.
Polish law specifies that responsibility for confirming citizenship rests with provincial governors."
