Judeopolonia, also Judeo-Polonia, is an antisemitic conspiracy theory positing future Jewish domination of Poland. [1] [2] The idea had its roots in an 1858 book by Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz, but did not gain currency in anti-semitic tracts until around 1900. [1] In 1912, author Teodor Jeske-Choiński had Jews in his book rhetorically say: "If you do not allow us to establish a 'Judeo-Polonia state' and a nation of 'Judeo-Polish people,' we will strangle you." [1]
This myth has been revived every so often in connection with the Bodenheimer plan ( League of East European States), most notably by Andrzej Leszek Szcześniak in his books Judeopolonia (2001) and Judeopolonia II (2002). [2] Zoltán Halasi writes that Szcześniak presents Jews as informers for the tsar, "tightfisted hyenas" and arrogant oppressors of the Polish people. [3]
Szczęśniak gives the name of Judeopolonia to the League of East European States, a suggested German client state with autonomous Jewish cooperation, proposed for the territory between Germany and Russia by the Deutsches Komitee zur Befreiung der Russischen Juden in 1914. [4]
