take a look at it again. it's a pretty vile example of the anti-semitism without jews (daniel singer phrase) that quickly overtook solidarnosc itself in the course of its trajectory to the nationalist neoliberal right. most of the figures interviewed (baited and abused would be more like it) and held up to ridicule were jews (minc, berman and werfel). and the baiting was overtly ultranationalist (e.g. Q. "You'd already handed over Vilnius and Lvov by then?" - p.248 Perennial Library edition 1988), and anti-semitic (Berman - "My daughter was often called a dirty Yid at school" Toranowska - "And you don't see why?" p.321).
