What does Jews think about this man?

>In 1332, King Casimir III the Great (1303–1370) amplified and expanded Bolesław's old charter with the Wiślicki Statute. Under his reign, streams of Jewish immigrants headed east to Poland and Jewish settlements are first mentioned as existing in Lvov (1356), Sandomierz (1367), and Kazimierz near Kraków (1386). Casimir, who according to a legend had a Jewish lover named Esterka from Opoczno was especially friendly to the Jews, and his reign is regarded as an era of great prosperity for Polish Jewry, and was nicknamed by his contemporaries "King of the serfs and Jews." Under penalty of death, he prohibited the kidnapping of Jewish children for the purpose of enforced Christian baptism. He inflicted heavy punishment for the desecration of Jewish cemeteries.

Poland allowing Jews to form into the middle class was a real economic boost to the nation, particularly after the merger with Lithuania. Jews of the era were typically much more literate than people from the same backgrounds due to their religious requirements of needing to be able to read the Torah. Thus they made pretty good tax collectors, accounts, bankers etc etc. Probably didn't do the perception of them much good among the serfs, but for the actual nation and the economy, big time help.

Given the time period, there wasn't exact a middle class, but in Poland and then Poland-Lithuania, the Jews got to be it.

And then the Russians, Prussians and Austria ganged up on Poland-Lithuania, divided the damn thing up and that was it for the Jews. The Golden era was over. It got pretty damn miserable in Eastern Europe for them after that.

Only it didn't. Poles were on average much less antisemitic than most other European nations.
