History / Where do Polands non Jewish victims go? [64]

"The holocaust" is a word used to refer to what happened to the Jews in Europe from 1939 til 1945. What happened to non-Jewish Poles was something else. Get your own word. What's your point, that non-Jews also got killed? OK. Open your own museums.

Shoah is just the hebrew word for holocaust. When it has a capital H it refers to one thing only. I didn't see Poles lining up to share the Holocaust when they were loading trains to treblinka. They were busy partying on the "Aryan" side.

So don't.
I know that Poles were also getting killed and not just partying and I know that warsaw was blown up. But the germans put all the jews (not the poles) in a ghetto and then exterminated them. They didn't gas polish kids. You didn't find Poles escaping the Aryan side and trying to pass as Jews. Why would that be? and if the germans stopped at killing jews, christian poles would have been ok with that (except for a few good hearts) just like the ukrainians and the lithuanians.

We were chosen alright. being jewish meant being "chosen" for gassing. You say "polands people' like there was no difference bwteen jews and catholics. polish christians let the jews know exactly how polish they were. "Poland for the Poles!"

Others suffered too. Germans also suffered. So maybe the holocaust memorials should include the names of the poor germans who died too? Maybe the poor christians of jedwabne should be listed on the holocaust memorials. You think it was easy doing all that clubbing?

Make your own memorial days, no ones stopping you. you didnt share the holocaust then. dont try to share it now.

Just my point. Jews were jews and poles were poles. and they were poles apart. (I coudnt help that).

we suffered different fates and thats why the holocaust museums dont deal with the nonjews.

Both dead. both killed by nazis. There were also a lot of russians and serbs killed by the nazis. Any museum about the nazis should mention all those victims. But a museum sepcifically about the Holocaust is about what happened to the jews as part of of a process that started in 1933 where the nazis poisoned all of europe to join them and murder jews as if they were vermin. Every country in europe helped them, including many poles. Even the polish partisans who fought the germans didn't mind the killing of the jews. So trying to "join" the holocaust as if we all were in same boat is just bullsht. Europeans should find a better way to clean their conscience.
