In 1939 Poland had the biggest Jewish community in the world after the US. The Polish government was notoriously antisemitic, especially after the death of Marshal Pilsudski in 1935. For example, their were 'Jewish quotas' in many areas of life (universities, for example) and in a wide range of occupations, including menial occupations, like railway porters. After the war, a few hundred Jewish Holocaust survivors were murdered by extreme Polish nationalists, and there was a pogrom in Kielce in July 1946.
