History / Polish Anti-semitism - origins? [186]

I am new here. After reading most of these posts I have a question: is anyone Jewish here? Besides being Polish of course.

History / Polish Anti-semitism - origins? [186]

I have a question for Puzzler, and please don't take this personally. I am simply curious.

I've never visited Poland, but people I know have gone there to research their family history, and to find any living relatives. It seems, before they started on their searches, that they were told to remove their Star of David jewelry. Why is this? The Poles were victims of WWII as much as Jews. Why would it not be appropriate to wear a Star of David in Poland? They felt intimidated by this - like they were being warned that they would be attacked if they were known to be Jews.

Since you seem to be very outspoken about Jews' "hatred" of Poland, I am asking you (although I welcome input from anyone else).

Also, just to let you know, one of my parents was Jewish and my grandmother's people were Polish Jews.

Jacy, I don't care who you are - as long as you are nice - human - and not full of hate towards me and my Polish countrymen and Poland.

I have never had any reason to hate Poland or Polish people.

Now regarding the Star of David question. Who advised those Jews not to wear those stars? Other Jews, surely?

No, actually they were Christian Polish people. The Jewish people I am referring to never found any Jews.

I really wish we had no diplomatic or any other ties with Israel; I wish no Jews visited us.

I am sorry you feel this way. Sad to say, not many Jews I know really wish to visit Poland. Many of them have a very hard time even visiting Auschwitz. However, I think it would be discouraging tourism if all Polish people felt the way you do, which in these economic times might be desirable to encourage tourists to visit.

Oh boy. The usual stuff when talking to you guys - grabbing sentences out of context, etc., right? The usual primitive tricks. I don't have time for this bullshit, so -goodbye.

Tricks? Huh? I don't play tricks so please don't imply that I do; you don't know me. It sounded like you didn't want Jews to visit Poland. But I guess after you explained it, I get the impression that it "seems" as if you don't want "racist, abusive" people visiting Poland. You mean like skinheads, or that ilk? Trying to understand here. No Jews that I know hate Poland. Where did you meet Jews who do? Have you spoken personally to them? Or are you believing news reports?

And another thing - I am not a guy. ;)
