Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

Yes...I think so too....they are not very popular...to different from the Germans...they don't like us and we don't like them (the exceptions prove the rule).

I had the Turks in mind also as I compared the Jews with the Poles....that's why it's hard to believe that the Poles were all peachy to the Jews....

Or comments like that:

For me the fact that Poland had over 3 million Jews before WW2 is enough to prove lack of racism.

Really astounding to read about the Polish-Jewish love story...erm...marriage here on this board!
:)

They didn't come to Poland for the love of Poles, but for the fear of Germans, English, Spaniards, French etc.

I agree!

So they loved living in Poland and liked the Poles so much that they decided to stay apart amongst themselves and not to assimilate??? Interesting theory...

The Jews in Germany to the contrary must have hated it...:(

Life / Polish people and racism. [943]

Why do you think there was the biggest European Jewish society in Poland before WWII ? Second after USA in all over the world.

And didn't they live mostly in their little shtetls without much contact to the Poles...with their own language (Yiddish - a German dialect), their own schools, their own professions, their own clothes? Strict Ghettos even before the Germans came? Not very assimilated I would say. Not to forget the regular pogroms!

The Jews in Germany to the contrary were totally assimilated...not many famous scientists from polish shtetls either...why is that?

From whom would you like "finger pointing" Lukasz? :)

Not like the Nazis but "lack of racism"????

They also had commonwealth.Have you ever heard of a French-German commonwealth,or an English-French commonwealth,or even a Dutch-German commonwealth or French-Belgian?Only Scandinavian countries had some similar form of unity(where all parts were not always satisfied or not forced to accept union).

Germans lived most of their history in one commonwealth (Staatenbund) or the other...starting with Charlemagne, the holy roman empire of the German nation spanning nearly whole Europe, the Hanse, the many duchies and kingdoms included often

also neighbouring people etc...
The nation state Germany came only into existence 1871!

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Neither Latin, French nor German were ever the worldwide lingua franca to the extent that English is.

The dimension differed but in the time of Latin Rome WAS the world and Latin was long after their fall a most important way to communicate.

Much longer than english is.

If an Indian meets a Dutchman, they'll speak English not German or Hindi.

And the Indian speaks english not by DEFAULT but due the colonial history and the British Empire. That goes for ALL english speaking countries outside the islands - they are not NATIVE languages!

The role of English as a worldwide lingua franca is irreversible.

I doubt that!
Once it was Latin...it is no more!
Once it was french...it is no more!
Once it was german...it is no more!

na richtig super, ja?

ps doch

I have to apologize! :)

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

the fact remains that much of the business, political and academic communication between 2 or more coutries is invariably conducted in english, being able to communicate sufficiently in english is therefore of greater importance to many than it is for the british to achieve similar levels in foreign language

Na ja....the most spoken native language is German and you can bet that business partners in the Swiss, Germany, Austria, Netherland, Belgium, Liechtenstein etc. speak german between them.

They have to resort to english when speaking with Brits or Americans because those barely speak german, it's a matter of necessity.

vistawide.com/german/why_german.htm

1. German is the most widely spoken language in Europe.

More people speak German as their native language than any other language in Europe. It's no wonder, since Germany's 83 million inhabitants make it the most populous European nation. But not only the residents of Germany speak German. It is also an official language of Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. And it is the native language of a significant portion of the population in northern Italy, eastern Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, eastern France, parts of Poland, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Romania, as well as in other parts of Europe.

BS. I just wanted to say that Poland never OFFICIALLY surrendered, that's all.

There even was a victory parade of the Wehrmacht!

Let's see:

Army surrendered? Check
No independent government? Check
Fully occupied? Check
Foreign controlled and governed? Check

What do you think is missing here?

Armies surrendered. Neither did the state.

Erm...*sighs*...no army....no government...another country controls and governs you...Maybe Nazi Germany still existed after 45? After your description of surrender it could very well be...

I don't see any connection of your post to the whole thing discussed there. It looks like you implying that I deny existence of resistance forces in other countries, what am I not.

You stated that Poland never surrendered like some of their "allies!

Poland never officially surrendered like some of her 'allies'.

I just stated facts! That Poland did very well surrender officially like many of her allies (what you denied) but agreed that an underground movement continued to resist, also like in many other countries. Thats all...

No. Polish underground resistance started to organise as soon as in September '39.

Yeah...well...the french resistance you just some posts back so belittled started soon after the official surrender too..!

There existed underground movements in nearly all occupied countries which surrendered officially to the Germans before (Dutch etc) and Poland is no difference

Bratwurst, that was a capitulation of WARSAW not POLAND. Try to understand what you read.

...a polish source: education-poland.com/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4&Itemid=6

...The Second World War began when Germany invaded western Poland on 1 September 1939. On 17 September eastern Poland was invaded by the USSR. Poland capitulated after 6 weeks of fighting. Western Poland was incorporated into the German Reich, eastern Poland into the USSR, while central Poland, including Warsaw, came under the rule of the General Government, a Nazi colonial administration....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Warsaw_(1939)#Capitulation

Erm...

On September 26 General Tadeusz Kutrzeba, deputy commander of Warsaw, started capitulation talks with the German commander. On September 27, at 12.00 a cease fire agreement was signed and all fighting halted. Soon afterwards Warsaw capitulated.

Austria haunted by Nazi Past
It doesn't matter what your religious upbringing is; a Pole is a Pole, as is an Austrian an Austrian. Many families were betrayed, murdered

Just some Austrians:

.
.
.
Hermine Braunsteiner, (July 16, 1919 – April 19, 1999), was a Nazi war criminal who personally participated in the, often, painful and cruel deaths of women and children.

Alois Brunner (born April 8, 1912; reports of death contested) is an Austrian Nazi war criminal. Brunner was Adolf Eichmann's assistant, and Eichmann referred to Brunner as his "best man."

Amon Leopold Göth (or Goeth; November 12, 1908 – September 13, 1946) was a Hauptsturmführer of the SS and was the commandant of the Nazi concentration camp at Płaszów, Poland

Maximilian Grabner (born 1905 died 1948), Austrian Gestapo chief in Auschwitz.

Aribert Heim (born June 28, 1914- ????) is a former Austrian doctor. As an SS doctor in a Nazi concentration camp in Mauthausen, he is accused of killing and harrassing many inmates through various methods, such as direct injections of toxic compounds into the hearts of his victims. Along with Alois Brunner, Heim — who would now be (as of 2008) in his early nineties — is one of the last major Nazi fugitives still at large.

Adolf Hitler

Otto Hofmann (March 16, 1896 – December 31, 1982) was an Austrian SS-Gruppenführer and an official of Nazi Germany's "Race and Settlement Main Office". He was present at the Wannsee Conference planning the Holocaust against the Jews.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner (October 4, 1903 – October 16, 1946) was a senior Nazi official during World War II. He was the highest ranking SS leader to face trial. He was executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Franz Kutschera (22 February 1904 in Oberwaltersdorf in Lower Austria – 1 February 1944 in Warsaw, Poland) was an SS general and Gauleiter of Carinthia.
As SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw district, he was sentenced to death by high command of the Polish Home Army in agreement with the Polish government in exile and assassinated by the members of Polish Home Army in the center of Warsaw (in front of Warsaw SS Headquarters).

Ernst Lerch (November 19, 1914 - 1997) was one of the most important men of Operation Reinhard (Aktion Reinhard), responsible for "Jewish affairs", and the mass murder of the Jews in the Polish General Government (Generalgouvernement).

Dr. Siegfried Seidl (August 24, 1911 in Tulln, Lower Austria; then Austria-Hungary – February 4, 1947 in Vienna) was a World War II Commandant of the Theresienstadt concentration camp located in what is now the Czech Republic.

Dr Arthur Seyss-Inquart (born Arthur Zajtich[citation needed]) (July 22, 1892 – October 16, 1946) was a prominent lawyer and later Nazi official in pre-Anschluss Austria, the Third Reich and for wartime Germany in Poland and the Netherlands. Seyss-Inquart was executed at the Nuremberg Trials for crimes against humanity.

Franz Stangl (March 26, 1908 – June 28, 1971) was an SS officer, commandant of the Sobibór and of Treblinka extermination camp.

The Baron Otto Gustav von Wächter (born July 8, 1901 in Vienna, died August 14 or September 10, 1949, in Rome, Italy), was a lawyer, an SS general officer and a National Socialist politician, successively governor of the Cracow and Galicia districts under the General Government. In spite of having escaped trial in Nuremberg, Wächter's responsibilities for the persecution and mass murder of Jews in Poland and Ukraine have since been fairly documented.

Gustav Franz Wagner (born July 18, 1911 in Vienna – died 1980) was an SS officer and deputy commandant of the German Sobibór death camp in Poland, where more than 200,000 were gassed during Operation Reinhard.

News / Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe [210]

Shrinking populations are the way to go for all people on the Earth.

The Earth can't bear much more people (or we should invest much more into space travel to settle other planets).
Also in highly industrialised (wealthy) countries more and more machines take over the jobs which earlier humans did.
So the need for human menial labor shrinks too.

It's the same like if wealthy families have mostly much fewer kids they cherish and advance and care for more than the mass breeding in poor countries where the children are the only way for the parents got get cared for later.

So a shrinking population is nothing to fear or something negative - an unhealthy balance between the old and young instead is, that must be worked on.

Natural resources are still a cause to go to war over but also that will change. The Earth just hasn't the resources to "feed" so many humans alot longer.

Alternatives are needed and WILL be found, starting with oil
and oil products. Oil becoming scarce and rare in the next century already....I'm fairly sure scienists are working hard to get independent.

So...the fate of a future super power will be indepedent from population count and natural resources.
The deciding factor will be the human brain and his achievements and maybe the military! No reason why Europe shouldn't be leading...

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

I found this article about Germany and anti-Americanism. Truth or..?

Anti-Americanism is a trademark of the left/liberal...and since the 68'er students revolutions West Germany is firmly a leftist country...that's changing though (and the Eastern part never was that leftist/anti-american to begin with for obvious reasons)!

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

but.. it is still the best country in the world, isn't it? So, maybe they do have a point?

Germany is better...not as much violence, not as much crimes, not as much poor (even our poor live better than the US poor)....Germany is not as split into the very rich and the very poor than the US (not yet anyway).

Germany is more orderly!
We care for our sick and poor better...better and more rights for the workers (till now anyway)

I know America a bit (traveling) and I say it's a great country for holiday...but I as a German
prefer the more reserved (because more honest) attitude of the Germans...(but worst are the Italians...all that arm waving and screaming whilst talking...)

Poles are divaded it case ;-) ask Germans or French :-) they will tell you :-)

So no, it's not the best country in the world!

Life / What's wrong with you, Polish people - is it an inferiority complex? [120]

Most Poles today in the UK and in Ireland are just day laborers who are not permanent residents. They're just filling a job void in those countries and making a buck - and then returning to Poland.

Erm....there must be millions of now Germans with polish roots who came for work and stayed!

MILLIONS!

Just an example:

"...Polish immigration to Germany

For the rising Ruhr district it became scarcely with good workers in the middle of 19th century . As part of the Kingdom of Prussia, it had become within short time a supplying pole, along with the beginning of industrialization at 1840. There was enough coal, which was there to the dismantling, also metals was manufactured. Therefore people looked for a solution. Chiefs recruited starting from 1870 purposefully in East Germany, but mainly in Poland, workers who were ready, to leave their homeland for a good money. They were allowed to carry their family with them, partly those were also simply enterprising loners.

They came from all parts of Poland, among other things "Masuren". As a Slavic people with Slavic culture and language they left traces in the entire Ruhr Area until today, some went back again, but most remained. Many people in Ruhr Area have Polish ancestors, often also Polish surnames. ..."

I wouldn't show off the Bible if you want something to prove scientifically!
Is there more "real" stuff you can tell us?
What about the genetic comparison to the arabs in the ME?
(And how can it be that you all stem from one man...did his children made incest?) A real question here...

Don't get me wrong....it's all well when we talk about religion only (Adam and Eve etc).
But an ethnic history is something else alltogether....you shouldn't mix it!

Right now you are still a religion only in my mind....with a belief shared first with many people in a certain place in a certain time.

The same with the paganism in northern/central Europe before Christianity got imported.
Just sharing the same beliefs didn't made them a race! (And sharing christian beliefs or having a christian mother doesn't make one of a "christian race")

"Jewishness" is not about religion, this is ethnic origin

I wonder about that...

What about converts? You can't convert to another ethnie!
You find white Jews, brown Jews, slavic Jews, germanic Jews, even black Jews....

I think they are a Religion, not an ethnie!

And that the Nazis opressed them as a race....well...you won't believe everything the Nazis told, won't you?
