=== Inter-war All-Polish Youth ===
The organisation, properly the Academic Union "All-Polish Youth" (''Związek Akademicki "Młodzież Wszechpolska"''), was founded in 1922 as an ideological youth organisation with a strong nationalist sentiment, and was the largest student organisation in the Second Polish Republic. The Founding Convention of the All-Polish youth took place in March 1922, with Roman Dmowski being selected honorary chairman.

The term "All-Polish" is intended to represent a desire to unify all Polish lands, and accentuate national ties and the equality of all people of Polish origin regardless of their wealth or social status. The idea for creating the organization occurred when Poland was partitioned and not officially on the world map, therefore it aimed to unite Poles from all three partitions. In the inter-war period, members of the organisation participated actively in academic life, and became the heads of many student organisations. The All-Polish Youth was the largest student organization in Poland during the 1930s. The goals of the organization were mainly focused on three issues:

# Defending the autonomy of universities against centralising forces of the government
# Campaigning for lower tuition fees
# Limitation of non-Polish, especially Jewish students, from higher education 

All-Polish Youth was the least radical of organizations of the National Democracy camp. Nevertheless, some of its members praised Mussolini and his Italian fascism for its hardline stances towards the left and realisation of "national revolution". Part of the members, including Jędrzej Giertych, also praised [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s Germany economical changes, but understood that it is with the contradiction with Polish national interests and changed his views a year after [[Nazi Party|NSDAP]] obtained power in Germany. According to Jan Mosdorf, a pre-war chairman of All-Polish Youth who was murdered in [[Auschwitz]], the organization was against fascists and Hitlerites. Some Members of the All-Polish Youth also praised authoritarian regimes of the Mediterranean, [[António de Oliveira Salazar|Salazar]]'s Portugal and [[Francisco Franco|Franco]]'s Spain.<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>

They also favoured economically boycotting the Jews and limiting their access to higher education (numerus clausus). The All-Polish Youth also actively campaigned for ghetto benches, segregated seating for Jewish students.
