Oh yes, we had, it more that might come in the bakery and as a kid I remember the, the people had, like, not baseball bats, but uh, big sticks of woods to defend themselves because any time someone, some anti-Semites can come in or attack Jewish businesses or... The police come and that, the national uh, the Catholic party of Poland.

Fascists.

And Facists. Yeah, they used to come. And any timed they could decide they wanted to have some fun, they attack a Jewish store, or a Jewish house, anything.
