It Was Supposed to Be History I'm a Polish filmmaker living in London. I wasn't raised to care about antisemitism. Quite the opposite. Like many Poles of my generation, I grew up with a version of history that focused heavily on Polish suffering during the Second World War. I visited Auschwitz as a teenager, yet somehow left without truly understanding the scale of what had happened to Europe's Jews. That changed when I was 19 and worked on Schindler's List. For the first time, I was confronted with parts of history that had been missing from my education. Later, living in Paris and spending time in New York, I met Jewish people whose understanding of Poland, Europe and history was very different from my own. Some conversations were uncomfortable. A few were life-changing. The more I learned, the more I realised that antisemitism didn't disappear after the Holocaust. It adapted. Today it often arrives dressed as political activism, conspiracy theories, selective outrage, historical revisionism, or simply a double standard applied to the world's only Jewish state. I am not Jewish. I have no family connection to Israel. What I do have is a deep distrust of propaganda, mob thinking, and people who demand that history be simplified into slogans. My work on antisemitism began with a simple realisation: if I could be misled about history, so could millions of others. That is why I make films, conduct interviews, and challenge narratives. Not because I have all the answers. Because I spent too many years believing things that weren't true.

You’re an enemy of the Arabs and the Muslims. Constantly spewing out your poison, dehumanizing them, trying to rile up support for slaughter. Even me as a Turk, watching from the sidelines, figured that out about you real quick.
