pawian 224 | 24,484 18 Oct 2008 / #2If they were orthodox religious pious people, they had to observe Sabbath.If they weren`t pious Jews, they could do what they wanted.Why?
pawian 224 | 24,484 18 Oct 2008 / #4There were many Jews, especially in the inteligentsia class, who didn`t follow the religious principle in life. They spoke Polish instead of Jiddish, lived in Polish districts, had Polish friends.They were looked upon with contempt by other religious Jews, that`s for sure.But were they worse or unreal?I don`t think so.When Germans came, all Jews, whether religious or not, were treated as real.

Krzysztof 2 | 973 18 Oct 2008 / #7Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out?What do you mean by "had a right"? The religious, moral or political sense of the word "right"?
Bzibzioh 18 Oct 2008 / #8Do the Jews in II Rzeczypospolita during Saturday night had a right to go out and enjoy night out?On Saturday night the Sabbath is over so whether they were religious or not they could do whatever they pleased.
Polonius3 993 | 12,357 18 Oct 2008 / #9Jewish men, regardless of their appearance (strongly Semitic or more Nordic/Slavic) were regarded as Jews if they were circumcised. In that respect many fair-haired Jewish females could pass for Aryans with no tell-tale stigma to set them apart.
