Abstract: The article aims to examine the position of Rola regarding the disclosure of the confidential Memorandum of the Stock Exchange Committee in Warsaw. Besides the circumstances of the creation of this document, I am closely analyzing the magazine’s strong reaction and journalists’ statements on the matter. I emphasize the fact that it was precisely the antisemitic Rola magazine, whose editor boasted of uncompromisingly discussing Jewish issues, that felt entitled to comment on it as the only legitimate platform. In the article, I cite the most vivid statements authored by the editor of the magazine himself, Jan Jeleński, as well as collaborators. In conclusion, I point out that according to the journalists of Rola, they played a key role in exposing the hypocrisy allegedly accompanying the process of assimilation of Polish Jews.
