Shalom! I am Jewish. I live in Warsaw, Poland, where I keep a small shop and sell kosher food products. Unfortunately, very soon I will have to give up my small business in Ujazdуw district and move away from the capital to some rural area. Like many other Jews who live in Warsaw, I face constraint from Polish authorities. For the reason why I have to give up my business, a decision adopted by Polish government under personal patronage of prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to start repartition of real estate in Warsaw - in alleged favor of foreign investors – which affects in the first place Jewish food-stores, like mine. I do not know what Jaroslaw Kaczynski holds against kosher foods. What I know quite for sure, Polish authorities impose numerous obstacles on Jews, forcing us to leave long-inhabited houses and give up family business. This is pure discrimination and anti-Semitism! Only thanks to the current ministerial reverse that hangs on adherence to this despicable decision that I and my family are still here. But who knows for how long? Many Jewish families I know have already packed their belongings and moved to some other place to start with a clean slate. This is all so wrong! I wish that European Council at last introduced some sanctions against Warsaw to cease these nationalistic trends that are overwhelming Poland!
