History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]

I'm able to do so and have done so in the past...Are you still laughing?

Your pretzel logic to hopefully characterize all these men as card-carrying Polish citizens who volunteered to carryout genocide during Nazi Germany's occupation of war ravaged Poland is hilarious!

The men you listed - Bilaniuk, Obodzinsky, Palij, Serafinowicz and Sawoniuk - were all born on territory that is now part of Ukraine and Belarus. Nothing provided in your supporting links shows that they regarded their identity as Polish rather than Ukrainian or Belarusian. It hasn't been established either that they had any command of the Polish language if at all. Furthermore, Poland never had a collaborative government with Nazi Germany in occupied Poland especially when the death camps were up and running. Therefore any possible claims of Polish citizenship by these men at the time could never have been officially authenticated.

In fact, both Belarusians Szymon Serafinowicz and Anthony Sawoniuk were already British citizens when they were accused of war crimes which they denied. Although Serafinowicz was found unfit to stand trial, Sawoniuk was convicted and imprisoned on war crime charges. Neither were ever stripped of their British citizenship. So how does that make you feel Harry knowing that your fellow Brits committed genocide during the war? Why haven't you and other members of the British public ever demanded the British government give Poland a formal apology and billions in reparations for British participation in The Holocaust? I expect a full account from you because earlier today you said yourself that "Denying history is no way of making sure that the mistakes made in the past are not made again in the future."

As for the other men, they all moved to either the United States or Canada after the war and took up citizenship there. Regarding these other war crimes allegations, including those made against and denied by Bronisław Hajda, all focused on seeking to strip the men of their US and Canadian citizenship and deport them. Some did loose their citizenship but not a single one was ever successfully deported and so were left effectively stateless.

How peculiar though that pursuing these men rested solely on accusations that they did not declare on their immigration paperwork any alleged participation in Nazi-led atrocities on occupied Polish soil. But why would they do this in the first place when they strenuously denied the charges later on in life? And if such serious charges had iron-clad proof to back them up then why didn't the American and Canadian justice authorities ever seek to convict and imprison these men on crimes against humanity rather than making it a case of them failing to declare their suspected status when they immigrated? As aforementioned your home country of Britain found that it had jurisdiction over the war crimes your two fellow citizens committed in Poland when Nazi Germany occupied her.

Interestingly your one NY Times link from 2003 admitted that "The evidence against Mr. Palij and Mr. Bilaniuk has not been made public."

Really? Nearly 60 years after the war ended at that point and the prosecutors had to keep evidence regarding such serious allegations under wraps? Were these accused OAPs a flight risk or was the proof so flimsy they feared they would get no traction with the cases?

So much for transparency and due process under the law. It would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.

Once again Harry, your dire attempt to implicate Poland in The Holocaust has absolutely no merit.

History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]

In the adult world civilised nations try not to throw their toys out of the pram every time somebody says something less than delicately and reminds people of a historical fact that they would prefer to forget and much prefer other people to never know about.

Twice now the Obama administration has besmirched Poland in public by falsely portraying her as a guilty party to The Holocaust. Again, when Obama was told his own "Polish Death Camps" remark was completely wrong he never apologized.

What you fail to understand is that when dealing with conceited personalities like Obama and his appointee Comey the only way to burst their bubble and wake them up to reality is to use strong words and firm actions that will leave them in no doubt about how terribly mistaken they are regarding Poland.

they constantly claim that not a single Pole took part in the holocaust: don't they know how utterly laughable that claim is?

Then start naming these guilty Poles like you were told to do. What's utterly laughable is your inability to do so. Surely these Polish somebodies you are accusing of committing genocide have a first and last name. So provide them. Right here on PF today. Give details too about their life in Poland and their motivation for helping Nazi Germany carryout The Holocaust after it had just crushed Poland and killed millions of other Poles in the process. Then explain why these unnamed Poles (who are still guilty nonetheless as far as you are concerned) were never formally prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.

Even people who have no interest at all in history but have seen, for example, The Pianist know the truth! Why not respond with the truth?

The truth is The Pianist was a sleepy film directed by a convicted pedophile fugitive who unsurprisingly gave a highly selective account of events in Poland during World War II. It's just another agenda driven Hollywood spin piece which pedestalizes the Jewish narrative regarding Nazi Germany's occupation of Poland while completely ignoring the destruction, suffering and death experienced by millions and millions of ethnic Poles.

'The Polish underground state executed Poles who murdered Jews during WWII.'

Provide the full names of the Poles the Underground State executed on charges of murdering Jews during World War II.

History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]

He should've said "...the accomplices of Germany in Poland, Hungary, and so many, many other places..."

Comey's choice of words were deliberate. That oaf consciously placed Poland's name in his litany of blame. Where as Hungary as a country was a member of the Axis powers actively collaborating with Nazi Germany, Poland most certainly was not!

And don't forget that since Washington DC is a metaphorical shark tank, words and gestures are carefully considered and often calculated. Indeed, this is why when career politicians and career bureaucrats give speeches and write opinion pieces they have their comments reviewed well beforehand by several of their underlings; not only for spelling and grammatical errors but factual accuracy. Comey got it absolutely wrong and still went ahead and published what he truly believes. And what is truly frighting for us all is that a man in his position and the goofs he has surrounded himself with have foolishly convinced themselves that they are correct in blaming Poland for a crime she never committed rather than recognizing her as the true victim of The Holocaust both during the tragedy and ever since.

The MFA needs to call the American ambassador onto the carpet for a harsh dressing down over this affront to Poland. Heck, it wouldn't be remiss to have the American ambassador expelled over this offense until the dope Comey issues a correction and groveling apology to Poland along with his resignation.

Some Poles did take part in the holocaust. Denying history is no way of making sure that the mistakes made in the past are not made again in the future.

Then name them today. Name each and everyone of them. And by all means share links showing their confessions. You can even include post war media interviews given by them regarding their participation as well as interviews given by their ashamed neighbors, co-workers, parish priests, extended relatives and descendants.

Oh, and any typical twisting of history on your part to categorizes Jewish Ghetto Police and Jewish Kapos as Poles won't count.

Merged: FBI Director James B. Comey Blames Poland for The Holocaust

In an April 2015 opinion piece for the Washington Post newspaper, the current FBI Director James B. Comey wrote at length as to why he "requires" his agents and analysts to visit the largely American taxpayer funded United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC.

He does it he claims so that they can learn a lesson about how "Good people helped murder millions. And that's the most frightening lesson of all.."

He then expounds on this saying:

"In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn't do something evil. They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do. That's what people do. And that should truly frighten us."

Source: washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-scariest-lesson-of-the-holocaust/2015/04/16/ffa8e23c-e468-11e4-905f-cc896d379a32_story.html

How on earth can this dunce run a federal law enforcement agency which supposedly builds cases based on obtaining evidence and facts when he is so completely ignorant about relatively recent history? He clearly doesn't know that Nazi Germany decimated and totally occupied Poland for the entire duration of World War II. He has no business lecturing anyone about The Holocaust when he doesn't even know that it was ethnic Poles who were victims of this crime and not perpetrators as he so idiotically believes.

And Comey's outrageous slander against Poland comes only three years after his current boss Barack Hussein Obama made his own ignorant and false remark about "Polish Death Camps." And self-important Obama never sincerely apologized to Polish people for his stupidity but rather issued a terse written statement whereby he merely expressed "regret" for his choice of words.

When will this American administration stop already with its unfounded and unjustified defamation of Poland?!

Life / Racism & study with part time jobs in Warsaw ? [53]

I was just asking a question

Yes, a very presumptive question and a race-baiting one at that as well. Again, you stated:

I just want to know whether I will face a lot of racism

"A lot" you say. Why do you make such as bigoted assumption about Poles if you've never even been to Poland in the first place? If in your mind you already determined that you will be a victim of racism in Poland (regardless of degree) then why bother going at all? Just tell your Erasmus advisors you don't want to go to Poland because it isn't the "rainbow paradise" (LOL) that South Africa has become. Oh, and don't bother trying to tell anyone here that South Africa and your native America are all "post racial" societies with everyone harmoniously dancing around a maypole while singing kumbaya. No one will believe you.

But good luck anyway finding a country that will roll out the red carpet for you based solely on the color of your skin and cultish beliefs.

I don't want to hear it

Sure you do. You originally said that:

any advice is welcome

So look, if you had bothered reading older posts it would have dawned on you that trying to stigmatize Poland with false accusations of entrenched widespread racism while trying to prevent your defamation from being questioned by hiding behind a misplaced sense of self-righteous victimhood simply won't work.

I am American who lives in Africa at the moment. I just want to know whether I will face a lot of racism

This topic has been truly exhausted on PF. What was missing in the scores of previously posted comments on this subject that still left you with nagging doubt? If you are looking for guarantees that everyone in Poland will go out of their way to treat you like a celebrity based solely on how you self-identify demographically then you can forget it. Poles are too busy with their own life and caring for their families to be hypersensitive to satisfying your personal expectations.

The fact that you are even considering Poland as a destination to pursue your studies rather than remaining in Africa already answers your question. But know this, since you obviously didn't find a sympathetic ear in Africa for your identity politics what makes you think you are going to find it in Poland or anywhere else apart from PC America?

News / Poland: A Successful case of low criminality in Europe? [97]

People from exotic places don`t see Poland as their most desirable destination. For now.

Most new immigrants tend to go to major cities first where they already have their own established minority communities to network with and find better chances for work. It also usually takes several generations for such groups to move into the surrounding countryside if they don't end up migrating out themselves. Living in the countryside often means longer commutes or taking lower paying and often less desirable types of work.

On a macro level most population centers around the world are concentrated near coastal areas. If the EU ever were to become one nation then most of Poland still wouldn't be a primary immigrant destination like other EU states such as Britain, France, Spain, Italy and Germany all of which have longer coast lines (hence more fishing and maritime trading opportunities) than Poland.

History / Remembering Polish Atheist Martyr Kazimierz Łyszczyński [3]

I wonder if he still thinks God is 'fiction".

£yszczyński's treatise was destroyed so only excerpts of it survived from what was catalogued in the unjust charges brought against him. However, since he saw religion and thus "God" as existing solely in the human imagination then he couldn't have believed in an afterlife either.

That is an oxymoran to be 'enlightened' and 'ridicule God existence'.

Not at all. £yszczyński logically saw "God" as a creation of humans and not the other way around. He simply took fanatical superstitious beliefs dreamt up by Middle Eastern cave dwellers and saw them for what they were.

The Age of Enlightenment in Western Europe spanned from 1650 - 1780 and is said not to have reached Poland until 1730. But clearly the Age of Enlightenment in Poland had its first sparks much, much earlier than this. Not only with £yszczyński's writings in the late 17th century but all the way back to 16th century Poland and the groundbreaking work of Mikołaj Kopernik.

Yup, there are five "Blood Moons" in this period with all of them falling on festival dates.

Yes. All the Abrahamic faiths attach many of their important religious festivals according to the seasons and astronomical events. That's why holidays like Passover, Easter and Ramadan always jump around on different dates each year. They are literally chasing the Moon! That makes all of them astrological cults. One might as well just read a horoscope from a newspaper to figure out life and humanity's place in the Universe.

History / Remembering Polish Atheist Martyr Kazimierz Łyszczyński [3]

While the awe-inspiring "Blood Moon" lunar eclipse which occurred this weekend has instead been spent behind closed doors by Jews marking their Passover and Christians their Easter events, it is appropriate to pause and remember the life of the enlightened Polish nobleman and philosopher Kazimierz £yszczyński who was tortured and murdered in Warsaw on 30 March 1689 for questioning Judeo-Christian fiction in his important treatise De non existentia Dei (the non-existence of God).

For freethinkers there is a video documentary about this great Pole available for viewing here:

Life / Importance of awareness of Poland's heritage and culture among Polish children abroad [24]

You know nothing about Europe.

You are obviously a proud and eager shill for neo-bolshevik thought reform.

Homo Sovieticus was a caricature of derision used by those who suffered under your failed ideology and so too is your futile attempt to rebrand it under the moniker of Homo Europaeus.

Europe is regarded as a continent. Depending on whose definition you use regarding where Europe begins and where it ends there are as many of 50 countries which reside on the European continent. The EU is currently comprised of only 28 countries. The EU certainly does not represent Europe despite the name it has given to itself. To think it does would be like saying the United States of America is representative of the independent countries of Canada and Mexico because they all just happened to be on the continent of North America and conduct trade with each other.

Most citizens within the EU cannot even communicate with each other due to language barriers. And good luck thinking that any will abandon their native language for glory of the EU. Poles will never be having German as the first language for matters of law and commerce. Do you really believe the Greeks would do something like this? Ha! And imagine the pro-EU French casting their own language to the side and putting English first for the sake of EU harmonization. It will never happen!

Even after decades now with this EU experiment all countries within it still have their own independent political structures, independent diplomatic representation, as well as independent policies both within and outside their distinct national borders. Sure they may pay lip service to common policies but there isn't a single member state who is "all in."

You can fantasize all you want to but there are no Poles who go around identifying themselves to others as first and foremost "European." Why? Because there is no one in Italy, Spain, Greece or even dear old Blighty who goes around calling themselves "European." This is so whether amongst their own kind, each other, or when they meet and greet people from non-EU countries. Indeed, there was grass roots outrage at the time when simply the color for country issued passports within the EU were changed to a common burgundy and gold. Yet, despite the passing of decades, there is still not a single country in the EU which is clamoring to have EU passports issued to their citizens instead of their own national ones.

Furthermore, there are no politicians in Poland or any other EU country who are about to give up their influence, titles and perks for positions like prime minister and president and take a downgrade to being nothing more than a regional governor and see their countries reduced to a sleepy, low profile territory or state like Nunavut in Canada (yeah, go look it up, it's there) or Oregon in the US.

People suffering under the yoke of the EU?

Absolutely. The EU's unemployment rate (especially among young people) has been chronically high. No one in the EU who has been denied opportunities during their working years particularly in their youth are going to be raising the EU flag high and cheer how "modern, forward-looking the EU is with obvious benefits all around" as you absurdly claimed.

The Eurozone economy has been a laggard for years. Do your own search and you will find plenty of articles highlighting how the only thing booming in the EU is the black market economy. This is because citizens of the EU are suffering under the yoke of punitive taxes and burdensome regulations. The reality is that the average citizen who resides in the EU does not trust the EU establishment and its policies which intrude into daily life.

And because economies go in cycles which ultimately result in bad politicians and their bad policies being tossed out it is all the more reason for Poles living abroad to ensure their children are not cut off from knowing their heritage and to remain fluent in Polish. This will give them the most options in life rather than being sidetracked and subsumed by socialist malcontents daydreaming of exercising party power through continentalism.

Stop watching Fox news. It's rotting your brain.

I did a search and Fox news is owned by a dual-national Australian-American who has operations and interests all around the world. From what I've seen it's safe to say that none of his current or former media holdings could be regarded as advocates for Polish heritage, culture and language. The owner apparently isn't pro-EU but this is purely down to not being happy about bureaucratic red tape which hampers his corporation from making more inroads in the EU marketplace. Multi-national corporatists like this owner don't care about national identity and sovereignty but only their company's bottom line. Latter-day Marxists like yourself don't care about national identity and sovereignty either but only your ideology's power over others. I don't watch this Fox news station but I don't see why you personally would be so critical of it since you clearly share so much in common with its owner with your only differences being about level of taxes and extent of regulations.

Life / Importance of awareness of Poland's heritage and culture among Polish children abroad [24]

How important is it that Polish children abroad are aware of their Polish heritage and culture?

It is critically important. Another poster on this thread understandably expressed regret for not passing along the Polish he learned growing up to his own children. Polish children living abroad have often faced difficult and unnecessary situations where they are denied learning about their own heritage and ancestral language while simultaneous and hypocritically being told that they need to value the diversity expressed by other groups which do retain their own distinctive languages, culture and customs.

The Polish language and culture deserve the same amount of respect and preservation outside of Poland as any other special interest group would demand be given to their own.

They are part of a modern, forward-looking Europe, and they see the obvious benefits of being in the EU all around them.

What a laugh! You do mean the same EU that is on the brink of collapse thanks to anonymous, unaccountable, bureaucratic heavy-handedness; financial mismanagement; economic malaise; uncontrolled immigration (including from outside the EU), and widespread discontent among average people suffering under its yoke.

Poland may have benefited in recent years due in part to some EU subsidies. But Polish ministers know these won't last forever and haven't structured Poland's economy to rely solely on them. On top of this Poland has flourished while the rest of the EU has been adrift thanks to not abandoning the złoty for the increasingly untenable and hazardous Euro currency.

There is a tiny minority of posters on PF who try to spin a fictional narrative of the future being one of a just a few Orwellian superstates. The reality however is that there is no one in any age group who is casting aside his or her own language, culture and national flag for the sake of advancing an EU dystopia. You show me one that does and I'll show you a meddling, power-hungry, socially inept Marxist who is desperate to have his or her own discredited ideology rule over all no matter what the costs are to everyone else.

Life / Brits on benefits in Poland? [38]

That's a meaningless phrase.

It's called having a good reputation among your peers, the sectors you do business in, or the communities you serve.

But if your whole life is spent on the dole or you can only manage to work zero-hour contracts then of course being good at what you do and garnering a reputation for it would be something utterly meaningless.

So everyone who is hardworking and enterprising is a "household name"? That's hilarious!!!!

You're wrong. People who are very good at what they do and take pride in their work really do want to be a household name. This is so whether they are someone like Bill Gates (entrepreneur and now billionaire philanthropist) or a Polish plumber working in East London who gets loads of referrals due to his expertise and dependability.

So a shopkeeper, a financial analyst, a language school owner, a publican, a builder, a computer operator, an old-age pensioner or a farmer should have "published studies" or "technological patents".

Many do. Regarding shopkeepers the big, brandname stores of today were founded by people who started out at the bottom in shops working for others and either made it to the top or earned success by breaking out on their own. Financial analysts are always publishing studies. It's also commonplace today for people working with computers (design, programming and operation) and even farmers to contribute to trade journals and/or develop new patents in their respective career fields.

The only exception to this would be some British scallywag who lost work as a builder to more highly skilled immigrants from the Continent; who then failed at running a pub in Blighty; then fled to Poland hoping but failing to start a language school; and now as a bitter washed-up OAP just surviving off benefits spends all day on PF railing against Poles and Polonia.

And doesn't detract from the confirmed fact that only 0.0002% Brits claim unemployment benefits from PL - the rest are by and large highly productive and have a larger than average income (with correspondingly higher tax/ZUS) - basically an elite section of society who contribute far, far more than they take.

So name them.

Hardworking and enterprising people are well known in the career fields. They are out there making a difference and are anything but reclusive. If they are not household names already then at the very least they have their names attached to successes such as published studies, technological patents or business deals creating jobs in a community. They may even be involved in humanitarian or charitable causes. They may also have been acknowledged publicly for their accomplishments.

Claiming when abroad

If you're going to (or are already living in) a European Economic Area (EEA) country or one with a special agreement with the UK, you may be able to claim:

- UK-based benefits
- benefits provided by the country you're going to

You'll need a statement of National Insurance you've paid in the UK to get these benefits - unless you're claiming Winter Fuel Payments.

State Pension

You can also claim your State Pension abroad.

I wonder what they're living on. You live in a little world of your own, just like your pig friend.

I see this is not a comfortable topic for you. Personal experience, huh?

Like I mentioned, they are very likely living on benefits from back home courtesy of the nanny state. Posts on PF also show that many work low paying, cash only jobs trying to teach English since that is the only transferable skill set they bring to Poland and even that is no longer needed. I also recall seeing another thread on here not too long ago mentioning how many of them have now turned to busking in a desperate move for more income.

It's people like this who are living in their own little world quite apart from the working population. It's fine if a person's only ambition in life is to have enough money to get another tattoo and buy booze, cigarettes, drugs and junk food. But for most in society life is not a non-stop party. And that is why most people prefer to work and be productive wherever they live.

The journalist should have saved time and just perused the posts on PF. They immediately reveal that the number of unproductive Brits slumming it in Poland is far higher than any government statistics will show.

I've long suspected that many of these idle beings managed to get on some sort of incapacity benefit years ago back in Blighty and then hopped it over to Poland to take further advantage of the low cost of living and exchange rate in favor of the pound.

The article in question also mentioned what has always been known to PF members and guests "...a different theory as to why so few Britons sign on in Poland. "So few of them bother to learn the language..."

I would go further and suggest that showing up at benefits office in Poland posed an element of fear because it would create an official record and therefore risk bringing the cattle class gravy train of many a British carpetbagger to a screeching halt.

Life / Could Poland become an immigrant country? [42]

Most modern economies are moving away from the need for jobs requiring large amounts of labor. Poland's primary sectors related to agriculture and mining as well as production industries are or will become increasingly done by machines with fewer and fewer need for humans to be involved in the end-to-end process. Even white collar jobs are facing a future of off-shoring or their own replacement by technological advances.

So with the dwindling need for people in the workforce it doesn't make sense for Poland (or any country for that matter) to offer generous social assistance to would-be economic migrants going around from country to country looking for the best deal for themselves.

Indeed, why pay some foreigner and his or her family to live in Poland if Poland wouldn't find it profitable in the first place to do much if any trade with that foreigner's home country and their dollar-a-day existence?

There is no doubt that you think you are entitled to have the best viewing seats in the cinema all to yourself.

This is weird behaviour and some anthropologist/sociologist may be along to explain......

Indeed it is! This is akin to the same sort of petty territorial frustration expressed by British tourists when holidaying Germans routinely beat them to the sunloungers in all the prime spots around a common swimming pool.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that you get annoyed with the management and staff at Polish cinemas too when they prevent you from bringing your dog in with you. Just like you do when you admit to going around and harassing Polish restaurants and pubs as well as train conductors with your canine in tow and being incensed that no one displays gushing emotion and free accommodation to what is obviously the only friend you have in all of Poland. This sort of behavior is displayed by people who have become marginalized in society because of their inability and (more often than not) their unwillingness to be social with other human beings. This is particularly the case for many foreigners who have elected to reside in Poland (usually without invitation) and then refuse to integrate.

Them and the ones who pretend to be ultra Catholic family men and rail again the sins of perverts and deviants etc etc.

Yeah and you should personally remind all those "ultra Catholic family men" which religion it was that catalogued all that Old Testament intolerance and bigotry in the first place.
