The city was plastered today with posters urging Poles to boycott Jewish shops and to do their Christmas shopping in Polish stores. The posters were put up by members of the youth organization affiliated with the Government Camp of National Unity. Nasz Przeglad, Polish-language Jewish paper, charged that a Government radio announcer had called on the population to boycott Jewish shops as “the most sacred national duty.” The paper pointed out that the radio was a government institution which had thousands of Jewish subscribers.
