A series of two lectures given in 1924 by Dr. Ryszard Ganszyniec (1888-1958), a renown Polish cultural historian and philologist against Poland's attempt to legally restrict the number of Jewish students in its schools.
Indeed, in 1923, Poland tried to introduce an infamous numerus clausus law, but faced objections from the League of Nations.
The numerus clausus attempt by the Polish government was a clear manifestation of the widespread anti-Semitism which had bedevilled Poland during the interwar years.
