Victory in 'anti-Polish camps' campaign in US [170]
Some of us have spent half our lives in Poland.
And I wish all of you a happy stay. I am not lumping all of you in a same bucket. I have lived and worked in both England and France(2 and 3 years). I have never felt anywhere close to understanding these societies, their culture, political systems, or history, and I would risk being laughed at if I considered myself an authority on the subject. The most I would dare was to make certain observations based on my experience, and I do speak these languages which allowed me to read the native press, books, editorials. People like Harry or Delphimine share none of these advantages yet they speak from the point of authority. That is why they are laughed at here. That and their contempt for us, our culture, history, and our patriotism. These self-admitted, stateless entities most likely are envious. They do a lot of damage sitting here daily spewing venom.
Regarding the thread topic I would hardly call the removal of the word "Polish" from "Deathcamps" as a victory, because Poland will still be thought of as an anti-Semitic place,
The point is that the squeeky wheel gets the grease. It does make sense to protest as you see they agree to change their way, the media that is. Next, we will force the German newspapers to stop writing about "Polish concentration camps"(sic) although it is unlikely they will say German instead of Nazi, but that is not an issue here. Given that many British schoolkids think Auschwitz was a beer brand or a theme park, and it is likely they will never read a history book in their life, it is important they undestand that these camps were German not Polish.
The persecution (of the Jews) took place on the basis of national-socialist racial dogmas: everyone who was not Arian, was shut out from society and hunted down. These people were isolated, arrested en killed in extermination camps. The same fate awaited those who tried to help them.
Stu, we've had this talk before, and I see you are still as ignorant on the subject as before.
Aiding Jews did not get you automatically killed along with your family in occupied Holland. There was no such law. Take a look at what happened to Miep Gies, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl. Were they shot for aiding little Anne Frank? No.
On the morning of August 4, 1944, acting on information provided by an informant, the Grüne Polizei arrested the people hidden at Frank's place of business, as well as Victor Kugler and Johannes Kleiman.A few days later, Miep unsuccessfully tried to bribe the Austrian Nazi officer to release her friends.[12]

You read Dutch, find what German law said about aiding Jews. Unless you want to believe the fantasy you believe now.
