註釋Ch. 12 (pp. 162-174), "The Jews in Galicia, " surveys the status of the Jews in this Austrian province from 1772 to 1918. Describes restrictive legislation by Maria Theresia, Joseph II, and their successors. Although the Edict of Tolerance was decreed in 1789, serious discrimination against the Jewish population persisted. Deals, as well, with the process of emancipation of Galician Jewry and the abolition of discriminatory taxes in 1849. Ch. 16 (pp. 215-239), "The Relationship of the Polish Government to the Jewish Population between the Two World Wars, " states that although Poland signed the Small Versailles Peace Treaty which granted minority rights, the Treaty was not respected in practice. Surveys the attitudes of consecutive governments to the "Jewish question" and debates in the Sejm. Mentions pogroms in 1918-20 and in the 1930s. Notes worsening of the situation after Pilsudski's death and the growth of the influence of right-wing parties.
