I have raised this on a number of occasions on the board about what Polish peoples attitude was to jews, both in past history and currently.
With particular reference to the attitude of the Polish government towards Jews in the early part of the last century and then in the decade before WWII
A new biography written by a guy called Roman Halter has been printed, called Romans Journey; details his life living in a village called Chodecz, along with 700 other Jews.
Post war only 4 of the 700 survived. He returns to his home after the war to find it occupied by 3 families who denied him access and berated him for wanting it back.
Can anyone fill the board in on the actual history of anti-semiticsm in Poland, the churches/states attitude, then and now...and current attitudes amongst the local population..is it acknowledged, is it taught in school, what spin is put on it etc.
