Anti-semitism in the shtetls of Europe is hardly a new topic but what I found
interesting in this chapter in the Yizkor book of Szumsk (Shums'k) in western
Ukraine was Shlomo Batt's account of how, starting as a boy, he learned about it
and experienced it, including an incident from when he was about seven that was his
first experience of it. He also notes the ambivalent attitude some held about Poles
who "suffered and were oppressed for many years and the anti-semitic feelings that
caused them to act irrationally."
