This article recounts the experiences of Polish Jews, such as Rachelle Halpern, who were forced to emigrate from Poland during a government-sponsored antisemitic campaign in 1968. The crisis began after Władysław Gomułka accused Polish Jews of being disloyal due to Israel's victory in the Six-Day War. A recent trip funded by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs allowed participants to revisit these historical sites and process the trauma.
