Summary/Abstract: This article is a revision of causes of anti-Jewish violence that swept through the provincial towns and villages in Central Poland (in Kielce Voievodship) in the years 1935–1937 and included well known pogrom in Przytyk in 1936. By studying political activity of the National Party (Stronnictwo Narodowe) and its ‘young’ radical members in the years 1931–1935, it shows their role in implementation of specific political culture of anti-Jewish violence, radical modernist Antisemitism, fascism and militarism in the Polish countryside, that all became crucial context of events that took place in the subsequent years.
