2012] ANTISEMITISM IN POLAND 437rently in Poland.” This shows that not only the Holocaust denial, but alsothe specific evaluation of the Holocaust, might be used as a tool to communicateantisemitic beliefs or attitudes.How Economic Deprivation Affects Antisemitic Beliefs in PolandThe idea that prejudice is caused by shared economic frustration ordeprivation can be traced back to the classic formulations of a scapegoattheory of prejudice, built predominantly on psychoanalytic and frustrationaggressiontheories (Glick, 2002; Zawadzki, 1948). The interest in this conceptwas recently revived by social psychologists seeking an explanationfor such diverse crimes as gay bashing in the United States and prewarantisemitic acts in the Weimar Republic (Glick, 2002; Green, Glaser, &Rich, 1998). According to the ideological model of prejudice Glick proposed,widespread frustration motivates people to seek an explanation.Antisemitic ideology provides such an explanation and becomes particularlyattractive in times of economic crisis. Finally, in order to restore controland economic power, the deprived majority groups engage in acts ofcruelty and discrimination against a minority that is depicted as highly competentand lacking any warmth or morality. Taking historical situations intoaccount, researchers observed that the economic crises creating a sharedfeeling of deprivation finally led to acts of genocide, mainly because peoples’basic needs were being frustrated (Glick, 2002).The ideological model of antisemitism creates a plausible explanationfor numerous historical situations in which Jews were blamed for the majoritygroup’s failures. On the other hand, several studies found that the situationalfactors, such as economic crises, are much weaker predictors ofantisemitism than the personality factors, such as authoritarianism ornationalism (Bergmann, 2008). Archival material studies on the hate crimesin New York City found no evidence for the link between poor economicconditions and prejudicial behavior (Green et al., 1998), and none in whichthe socially shared economic frustration in post-Soviet Russia did not resultwith the rise of antisemitic attitudes or incidents, as one could suppose onthe basis of the scapegoat theory of prejudice (Gibson & Howard, 2007).The economic deprivation after the systemic transition in Eastern Europedid not increase the belief in Jewish control in Ukraine, although itincreased beliefs in Jewish control in Poland (Bilewicz & Krzemiński,2010).In a survey from 2009 (Figure 6) conducted by the Center for Researchon Prejudice (Bilewicz et al., in press) all those predictors were measured,as well as several measures of antisemitic attitudes. The results of regressionanalyses showed that a prejudiced personality (authoritarianism), an
