Dozens of demonstrators in the western Polish city of Wroclaw participated in burning effigies of Jews fully equipped with side curls and Orthodox Jewish black hats, the Algemeiner website reports today (November 18, 2015).
The demonstration was part of a larger protest against admitting refugees of the civil war in Syria into Poland. Demonstrators warned that many of the refugees were actually economic migrants and terrorists.
The demonstration took place on a portable stage in front of the Wroclaw city hall. Police contained the demonstration but allowed it to occur, with no arrests.
Many in Europe are concerned with the influx of refugees fleeing the violence in Syria, which has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives over the past nearly five years and caused widespread devastation. Poland has decided to accept 5,000 refugees.
