TI - An Antisemite Becomes A Righteous Gentile: "Border Street "By Aleksander Ford
AB - 
	The article reconstructs the model of discourse present in Polish culture since the 1940s. Border Street(1949) is one of the first implementations of this model. An antisemite who becomes a righteous gentile is a pars pro toto of the Polish community. Violence is invoked, but its range is limited: Polish antisemitism stops when it comes to harming Jews. Violence that was, according to historical research, the dominant behavior toward Jews during the Nazi occupation is presented as an exteriorized exception. Two other Polish films of the same type are discussed in the article: Just beyond this Forest (1991) and In Darkness(2011).
