Safer to post such moronic statements annonymously on a message board.
I am sure, you're right, but at the same time it is quite weird, that when one person makes such a statement, others cheerfully applause.
forum exchange:
"Museum fees are one thing - paying host countries Germany and Poland to see where ones families were murdered by them is something beyond the level of economics."
"Are you suggesting that Poland was one of the countries that murdered people in concentration camps?"
"Of course, there were concentration camps in Poland as well as in Germany. Any reliable history of the Holocaust will tell you that. Auschwitz is in Poland, for example."
Quicky another 'scholar' joined the conversation:
"I think the germans knew exactly what they were doing when they put Auschwitz in Poland. They knew the Polish sentiment towards the Jews.
As a jew from Russia, I can tell you that all of us know that in Europe, the places where jews were hated most were Germany and Poland."
And then the one asking the question ('r u suggesting') is called an antisemite, jew hating, lier and history rewritter (no doubt this was me who asked) - on that and many other threads.
I am sorry, but when one sees such a thing - one cannot stay indifferent. I don't even blame those people, no-one can get such retarded ideas like Poles responsible for holokaust 'just like that'.
Someone, SOMEONE, must have taught them this.
Enough.This was my last post on this subject - I kinda hijacked the thread, I am sorry for that.
I just hope, that you DO understand the basic physics: action -> reaction. Polish-Jewish relations have a very, very long history, almost a millenium, are very complex and cannot be painted out in black-and-white in 5 minutes.
Poles are not angels, never were, but constant accusations from the Jews, who DO paint themselves as nothing more but saint martyrs, are totally off, not true, unjust and not fair.
Food for thought.
