It wasn't only the royals who were anti-semitic.

Many of the general populace were as well (and unfortunately it is still there - I was in Poland and Russia in 2002 and one thing that came through loud and clear from the local tour guides was that Jews aren't the same as 'us' and they need to be kept separate).

I did speak to the Tour Guide that we had for the entire tour and he agreed with me - that anti-semitism is alive and well in Europe and then said - 'but the Jews aren't Europeans either' (he had a Danish mother and an American father but he still made comments like these).
