"In March 1968, #RachelleHalpern walked into her university in #Szczecin, #Poland, and found a group of her classmates gathered around a newspaper. She asked what they were reading about. The answer came: “#Zionists.”
#Halpern didn’t understand. Who were the Zionists? One classmate said, “The #Jews.”
“But I’m a #Jew,” said Halpern. Her classmates looked at her in disbelief. She couldn’t be, one said. She had no horns.
Halpern was about to be swept up in a spiral of social and political crises in communist Poland, culminating in a government-sponsored #antisemitic campaign that stripped Jews of their jobs, schools, and citizenship, forcing some 13,000 to leave the country. Within months, Halpern would find herself renouncing her #Polish nationality and leaving everything she knew for a new life in the #UnitedStates.
At that moment, when her classmates read the word “#Zionists” and looked up at her with horror, she felt a shift."
