Falanga - the symbol of the ONR

The National Radical Camp ( Polish Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny , ONR ) was a Polish right-wing extremist , anti-communist and nationalist party. It was founded on May 14, 1934 by mostly youthful radicals who had left the Narodowa-Demokracja movement. In June 1934, after the assassination attempt on Minister Bronisław Pieracki , the ONR leadership was imprisoned in Bereza Kartuska , and in July 1934 - around two months after its founding - the party was banned .

history

The formation of the party took place largely at the insistence of former members of the Wielkopolska camp (Obóz Wielkiej Polski) such as Jan Mosdorf , Tadeusz Gluziński and Henryk Rossman . The party was based on Italian fascism, but never achieved similar political influence or larger membership (in 1934 there were between 2000 and 3000 members). She called for solidarity with Polish capital, the transfer of foreign and above all Jewish property into the hands of Polish big capitalists and the introduction of anti-Semitic laws. She also spoke out in favor of protecting Polish private property and a centralized state. The ONR received its greatest popularity from students and other urban youth groups. Because of its participation in the boycott of Jewish businesses and numerous violent riots against demonstrating workers one was against the ONR in July 1934 party ban imposed, and the party make its way underground.

In 1935 the ONR split into several factions, the largest of which were the ONR- Falanga (led by Bolesław Piasecki as the Polish national racket gangs) and ONR-ABC (led by Stanisław Piasecki ). Both formed resistance organizations during the Second World War : ONR-ABC formed the Związek Jaszczurczy and Szaniec , from which the Narodowe Siły Zbrojne were formed in 1942 , members of the ONR-Falanga founded the Konfederacja Narodu , which joined the Polish Home Army in 1943 . However, there were party activists who cooperated with the Nazis because they believed Jews to be Poland's real enemy.

On April 15, 2003, the Opole District Court upheld the views of the Mayor of Brieg , who described the pre-war ONR as an "extreme right-wing organization that used anti-Semitic rhetoric, publicly opposed the government and was led by fascist ideas".

The neo-fascist organization "National Radical Camp" has existed in Poland since 1993, following on from the ONR tradition of the interwar period. This represents an ultra-nationalist , religiously fundamental, anti-Semitic and terrorist standpoint.

Attitude to National Socialism

German National Socialism experienced an even greater rejection among the members of the ONR . Polish nationalists believed that National Socialism was a pagan, anti-Christian ideology based on pseudo-scientific notions of race . Germany, regardless of which system it is governed, was a hostile country to the Polish nationalists. The seizure of power by Hitler was seen as a growing threat to Poland.
