Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes Michał Borwicz’s "Organizated Rage" booklet published in 1947 concerning war-time anti-Semitism. The main focus of Borwicz's work points to German propaganda that sometimes fell on a fertile Polish ground. The author writes his commentaries in a way that lets him suggest allusively the role of Polish anti-Semitism (also from the pre-war period) without denying the important German fascist influence in the analysis of various Polish responses to the Holocaust. Therefore, the book, which sets out to describe German manipulation, in many ways resembles a palimpsest containing a hidden message of Polish anti-Semitism
