'''Polonophobia''' (also referred to as '''anti-Polonism''' and '''anti-Polish sentiment''') is prejudice against Poles as an ethnic group, Poland as their country, and their culture. These include ethnic prejudice against Poles and persons of Polish descent, other forms of discrimination, and mistreatment of Poles and the Polish diaspora.

This prejudice led to mass killings and [[genocide]] or it was used to justify atrocities both before and during [[World War II]], most notably by the German Nazis and Ukrainian nationalists. While Soviet repressions and massacres of Polish citizens were ideologically motivated, the negative attitude of Soviet authorities to the Polish nation is well-attested.

Nazi Germany's Directive No.1306 stated: "Polishness equals subhumanity. Poles, Jews and gypsies are on the same inferior level." Nazi Germany killed between 1.8 to 2.7 million ethnic Poles, 140,000 Poles were deported to [[Auschwitz Birkenau]] where at least half of them perished.

Anti-Polish sentiment includes stereotyping Poles as unintelligent and aggressive, as thugs, thieves, alcoholics, and [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semites]].
