Abstract: The aim of the study is to explore the extent, scope and prevalence of antisemitic prejudice in the four postcommunist countries of Central and Eastern Europe known as the Visegrád Four: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Furthermore, it explores how antisemitism is related to various socio-demographic and attitudinal factors in order to understand what causes antisemitic prejudice and identify which social groups are prone to such prejudice. In addition, regional specificities, including victim consciousness, historical perceptions of Holocaust bystandership and their relationship to antisemitic prejudice are also examined.

Abstract: 2018 amendment of the act on the Polish Institute of National Remembrance that
was passed by the Polish Sejm in January 2018 raised a vibrant public debate
about Polish-Jewish relations. In this article, we try to trace the dynamics of this
debate and assess its consequences for contemporary Polish-Jewish relations and
present-day representations of the relations between Poles and Jews during the
German occupation in 1939–1945. To this end, we present the analysis of social
media content, data from search engines, as well as the results of two nationwide
polls conducted at the beginning of 2018. These studies indicate that the debate
on amendment of the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance has increased the expression of antisemitic prejudice in the media and on the internet,
increased the presence of defective codes of memory, and at the same time
polarized the Polish debate about the behavior of Poles during the Holocaust.
The results of these analyzes are discussed in the context of earlier debates on
the Polish-Jewish relations during Nazi occupation, referring to the category of
“secondary antisemitism” that receives growing support in current social sciences
