Poland and Polish Anti-Semitism, c. 1918-1939 [148]
It tries to portray all Jews in Poland as being a fifth column which sought to overthrow the Polish state.
He never says that.
is more than just a sweeping generalisation: it is another anti-semitic canard which the author uses to try to portray Jews as people who all shunned gentile Poles.
He never says that.
And I do so love his little 'all Jews love money' crap.
He never says that.You are having a problem with your own projections here, I am afraid.
he want to maintain the myth that all Jews in Poland lived in shtetl, had massive beards and looked funny.
He never says that, and if you actually read on, you would know want the author wants to maintain. But abandoning you preconceptions would be way too difficult.
You really are getting desperate if you're trying to make us believe that the inhabitants of Muranow were living in an isolated community. Have you ever actually been to Warsaw.
1) Have you ever been to Leyton, London? A close-knit Pakistani community if there ever was one. Yet no visible demarcations anywhere.
2) Yes, I actually do possess a passing knowledge of Warszawa (that's irony in case you wondered).
3) Have you ever seen photos, or read accounts of, the pre-war Leszno in Warszawa? Do you know that Muranów is a post-war development built on the ruins of the ghetto?
Have a read, unless you find it antisemitic as well: zmh.um.warszawa.pl/wstep_a2.htm
"It is this area that became the promised land for the Warsaw Jews. They associate everything that was Jewish in Warsaw with it. The streets and alleyways, apartment houses and courtyards, the distinctive atmosphere, the unique local color, and the one-of-a-kind multilingual hubbub. Jewish Warsaw was a microcosm of its own. It contained an infinite variety of forms and aspects of life, it held enormous contrasts in wealth and customs, and was a singular example of a city within a city. The topography of this place was complicated and multi-layered, though subjected to its own order and hierarchy. "
