Judeopolonia

A copy of the publication Rok 3333 czyli sen niesłychany, which first used the phrase Judeopolonia.

Judeopolonia is an antisemitic conspiracy theory claiming that Jews seek to take over Poland.

Origin

The false claim is said to have originated from a book published by Polish writer Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz in 1858. In 1912, Teodor Jeske-Choiński, another Polish writer, reportedly promoted the false claim in the form of an imaginary quote: "If you do not allow us to establish a 'Judeo-Polonia state' and a nation of 'Judeo-Polish people,' we will strangle you."
