History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

And let's get this straight: Jewish is not a nationality.

Gęborski in his personal file would have had something like this:

Narodowość: polska

Obywatelstwo: polskie

Morel's like this:

Narodowość: żydowska

Obywatelstwo: polskie

One is nationality and the other citizenship. Although the term pochodzenie or ethnicity is used sometimes in documents, narodowość or nationality was used at the period we are referring to. I didn't make up the rules. We got it straight now.

Food / Poland known for their sweets? [67]

A simple recipe for Le gâteau au chocolat fondant de Jola to help you slim down:

200 g of good dark chocolate
200 g of butter
5 eggs
1 soup spoon of flour
250 g sugar

Melt the chocolate with the butter. Don't eat it all now, bacause you can lick the bowl later.

Add the sugar and let it cool down somewhat.

Mix in the eggs, one at the time.

Add the flour and mix well.

Pour it all in a 20 cm square form or something similar.

Pop in the oven for about 20 minutes at 190 C.

Enjoy your chocolate therapy.

Food / Polish Herring Appetizer [21]

Surprisingly Poland is one of Europe's biggest markets for these.

Maybe people buy them for cats, because I have never seen anyone eating them. But, they being poor peoples food, like hot dogs, or McDo, perhaps people do eat them; we are still a fairly poor nation on the whole.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

Making up what? That Britain has prosecuted more Poles who took part in the holocaust than Poland has?

Just because Ksysia couldn't give you what you asked for doesn't mean that I can't, and there were plenty of collaborants hanged after the war, but this is getting boring.

I say no such thing. The free pass for Morel was precisely the same as the free pass given to Geborski.

Israel didn't see Morel as a criminal; Geborski was being prosecuted and it was halted because of doctors' decission in 2005. He died a year later. If you call these reasons precisely the same, than you are unable to compare simple concepts.

I condemn both but you only condemn one; which just happens to be the one given to the Jew, what a coincidence there!

You call this a condemnation? This:

The Israeli state has a lot of problems. One of those is their attitude towards crimes committed by Jews outside Israeli.

Let me be also full of condemnation:

There was never any anti-Semitism in Poland; some people had only a different attitude towards Jews. Fair?

but you only condemn one; which just happens to be the one given to the Jew, what a coincidence there!

Get this straight. What difference is the nationality of a murderer? As you have seen over and over from me, I call for prosecution of all the communists guilty of crimes, including Jews since they had a leading role in the state terror apparatus. I would have hanged Geborski and Morel personally. They would have played paper, scissors who goes first.

I'm saying that they seem to chase Jews harder than gentiles.

Seem. Only to you. In Fieldorf's case, all eight key people were Jews. What to do? Throw in a few Poles for fairness and balance?

You appear to be getting confused: the SB worked for Stalin, not the other way round.

No, you are. Walesa worked for SB and Stalin has nothing to do with this. If you had read the book, you would see the SB documents for yourself, his hand-written notes and criminal lab handwriting analysis and many other irefutable facts. Instead you blindly defend someone based on...you refused to say and threw in Stalin there. Poor performance today, Harry. Bon nuit, mon cher.

For my taste, true chocolate can only be found in Switzerland or Belgium..

France also. I used to go to a chocolatier who made American style brownies except on a whole different level. Oh, well, I like our plums in chocolate anyway. I'm just happy not to have to eat Hershey stuff.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

Your idea is that the British made no mention at all to any Polish body about this bloke?

You are making things up and you're disappointed that I don't want to. Are we children?

The Israeli state has a lot of problems. One of those is their attitude towards crimes committed by Jews outside Israeli.

Every state has problems. So, you sheepishly admit they don't consider crimes against non-Jews as crimes. At least in this case. You are so understanding though.

Why didn't the Polish government give her the free pass they gave Geborski?

They were prosecuting him. What is wrong with you? The IPN wanted prosecution, the court agreed with doctors to stop. Now, you didn't answer my question. Who is to blame? Another question you evaded: according to you, does IPN want to only prosecute Jewish criminals? That is what you're hinting.

I didn't need to read the collected writings of Stalin to know that that guy was a complete bastard. I'm not going to waste time reading 700 pages of witch-hunting

But you know that he didn't work for SB. Wonder how?

I think Wedel improved since Cadbury took it over.

Wedel is in the MacDonald's category now. Pretty soon they will have drive-thrus at their dozens of locations.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

And then perhaps you can explain why you consider the town of Mir (where he was accused of killing those Jews) was not in Poland.

I said nothing like that. I just quoted the British article. Now, you are suggesting that the Polish government knew he was in Britain. Where are you getting this info? And since the Brits started prosecuting him in 1997, then did they also know he was there all along. Maybe this is a British-Polish conspiracy to hide Nazi criminals? Any other nonsense?

Yes, this:

Only one other person involved in the murder of Fieldorf was charged despite most of them living in Poland, and she was allowed to avoid justice by simply not bothering to go to court for the rest of her life.

This deserves a reply for my slow student. It will come later.

Yes he was a complete bastard and yes he did get a free pass.

Why did Morel get a free pass from Israel. I'm interested in your opinion on this.

However, Czeslaw Geborski wasn't Jewish, was every bit as much of a bastard and he got a free pass to, in Poland!

He was a Stalinist beast who was working for Berman (a Jew) and murdered Poles. The attempt to prosecute him was discontinued in 2005 because of his failing health. Your weak, weak attempt to insinuate that only Jews are to be prosecuted is comical in this case since he was not Jewish, as far as I know, but I want to be sure that is what you are suggesting or not. What is it that you actually want to say, because you are jumping all over the place with more and more ridiculous examples.

According to a couple of US courts (who revoked his US nationality) he was a Pole and one of the guards at Treblinka

I've read your link and the only charge the US gov't could find against him is that he lied on his visa application. No criminal charges of killing anyone. More interesting was the note at the end of the link though:

that, of the 400,000 or so refugees who entered the United States after WWII, 100,000 were former Nazis or Nazi collaborators. John Francis Stephens, The Denaturalization and Extradition of Ivan the Terrible, 26 Rutgers L.J. 821, 825 n. 28 (1995) (citing Allan A. Ryan, Quiet Neighbors: Prosecuting Nazi War Criminals in America 26 (1984))

Looks like the US is harboring criminals in addition to Britain, Israel, Sweden, among others.

According to a couple of US courts (who revoked his US nationality) he was a Pole and one of the guards at Treblinka

Just to get back to Hajda. That would be Treblinka I, which was a camp for Poles. Jews went to Treblinka II, not that it matters that much.

Please, answer my question above.

Jonni called the two authors clowns. I do too.

That's fine, but neither one of you have read their 700 page book, sort of like Sjam criticizing the film Soviet Story before he saw it. You guys are leftist parrots.

Who criticizes healthy fish like herring?

I would criticize fish sticks that American moms feed to their kids. I think they do that just to prime the growing meatballs for the crap they will have to eat later, yes, like McDo barf.

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

Look how hard they went at Helena Wolińska-Brus and Salomon Morel but showed no interest at all in Anthony Sawoniuk or Szymon Serafinowicz

This is getting so boring.

Szymon Serafinowicz appeared at the Old Bailey in 1997 accused of killing Jews while he was a police chief in his native Belarus when it was occupied by the Nazis.
However, the jury eventually ruled the former carpenter, who fled to Britain at the end of the war, was not fit to stand trial because of dementia.

Ask the British, who make their country a safehaven for criminals like Wolinska and Kern. After all, communist crimes are not considered crimes in the UK. Israel also is a safehaven for communist criminals as was the case of Morel. A real beast, but Jewish, so he got a free pass. Many others emigrated to Israel as well, as you know.

Since killing Jews for the Nazis is a crime in Britain, but killing Poles for communists is not, Sawoniuk, living in Britain was prosecuted there.

As to Hajda, what is he accussed of? I have never heard about him.

You

I don't recall seeing anybody here call the IPN clowns.

Jonni.

two of those clowns recently wrote a book about a former electrician but the IPN as a body is certainly not clowns on a witch hunt.

This must be some sick jelousy on your part as a struggling writer, Harry. Those two respected Polish historians, with PhD's and many important scientific publications, are far from being clowns, but you, well, how is that guide to Warsaw's kebab stands coming along?

History / What British unit liberated Poland in 1945?? [445]

My understanding is that he was killed by Żydowski Związek Wojskowy, the Jewish Military Union. And he much deserved what he got.

AK and ZZW units toghether attemped to liquidate him and other collaborants in August 1943 on Długa Street. He was wounded and lived, the others killed. Later, in November 1943, he was killed by a 14 men AK unit(including boy scouts).

As you know, this was tongue-in-cheeck, since he was a Polish Jew, but a death sentence was passed and executed for his active participation in the Holocaust.

One day, I'll compile the scatered info on the Hotel Polski Affair and post it. A fascinating and extremely sad story of Jews flushed out of hiding in Warsaw. Polish and Jewish Gestapo collaborants getting Poles and Jews killed and in turn Polish and Jewish underground units hunting them down.

Your own institute of national remembrance says that Poles did all the killing at Jedwabne. Pity that you personally can't face up to what your countrymen did.

One day IPN are clowns on a witch hunt, today they are not.

News / Poland's fidelity to support wars and its limits. [46]

Agravating the Bear is our national sport(when were not drinking, that is), and it stems from the conviction that Russia only understands and respects a show of strenght. When she senses fear, she will move in for a kill. Plus, we are not affraid of them.

Our dialogue will always be difficult, as we don't trust each other.

book of Anna Stepanovna: "Putin's Russia",

I have read it. She was very brave and named too many names to stay alive. BTW, I have the English and Polish editions, and can't understand why she is called Politkovska in Polish and not Politkovskaya.

News / IPN apologises to Adam Michnik [15]

the book was part of a "witch-hunt"

One one hand, Poland is accused of not facing its past. When we do, it's a witch hunt. The documents speak for themselves and regretably Walesa was an agent in the 70's. Personally, I, like all Poles, would like that not being so, but it is. The research done on the subject is beyond reproach. Many people sucumbed to pressure to inform, some volunteered though for priviledges, cash, etc. Walesa has become an embarassment now, and watch what will come of his "lawsuit."

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the... Oh sorry, I was getting you confused with the junior senator for Wisconsin. Easy mistake to make.

Rarely people confuse me with a US senator, but thnks for the compliment. Yeah, Harry, I'm the McCarthy of PF.

You can take a look at Walesa's goon assault a journalist in court with total impunity. We don't need such sacred cows in this country. The police refused to react. An assault in court, no less. Scandalous. What do you make of this?



BTW, the thug is the President of "Walesa Institute." Whatever that means.

I do not engage in discussions about French history because I haven't read one book written by a French historian. Now, if I had read a few on French history written by British historians, would I be qualified for a decent discussion with a Frenchman about France?

You can replace France with Ireland if it makes this point easier for you.

News / IPN apologises to Adam Michnik [15]

somewhat discredited IPN

Former communists and traitors working for SB are working hard to discredit IPN.

These are the same clowns who published a book saying that Nobel prize winner Lech Wałęsa was a Communist spy. :-)) Also the subject of a court case.

To call a government institution, which has the responsibility to study, investigate, and prosecute nazi and communist crimes against Polish nationals, "clows" speaks volumes about you. I have the book here and have read it. Have you? Which part of the book do you not agree with? Refer me to some particular document or handwritten denouncement of Walesa you think that the two PH.D historians are wrong about. Court case? That's a joke. Walese thretens court cases all the time, but he is all threats.

Nobel prize winner Lech Wałęsa

So is Omama. For peace. So was Szymborska for literature. Have you read her poems praising Stalin?

If it doesn't prove that the IPN are nothing but a bunch of goons hired by PiS to discredit their political enemies, then what does?

You have no knowlege on the subject at all, so our coversation will be short.

The fact that the 'book' about Walesa was written by a Masters student

Wrong book. You are not even on the same page as your sidekick above. When you learn Polish, you can read this book:

gdansk.naszemiasto.pl/wydarzenia/865003.html

have been ordered by the courts to apologise to the newspaper editor and former political prisoner Adam Michnik.

Are these the same cours that haven't been able to prosecute even one communist criminal? Ask yourself one question. Crimes were committed, they went unpunished. Why?

Yeah, because Moses and Yeshua were sick maniacs who called themselves prophets but didn't work miracles, but killed people instead and raped their women,

When you joined this forum, you said you were Jewish and were not allowed to wear your kippa outdoors where you live in Germany, which would mean you follow Judaism, but your neighbourhood is not Jewish friendly.

A rather strange statement about Moses then, and even stranger one about prophets. Are you lying to us?
