History /
Endecja - State Sponsored Anti Semitism 1935 - 1939. [138]
hi m-g,
i'm gonna to show you other side of the coin.
endecja wasn't nice, but in mine opinion there was a reason for that. i will give you some facts about jews in pre-2 world war period.
* most of jews (75-80%) hardly spoke in polish. that's somehow amazing, they live here for 700 years, and they were unable to learn the language and understand their polish neighbors. most of jews lived in voluntarily closed communities, they chose to live like this. they have their own, separate school system, which was sponsored by polish state. and guess what they learned on history lessons? of course - the learned
onlyhistory of palestine... after 700 years (!)...
* many jews despise poland and poles. the source of this lie in deep middle ages - e.g. - jews were hired by polish szlachta as a tax-collectors - they can read and count in opposition to most of polish farmers. who likes tax-collectors, especially those not very honest? jews started to use the opportunity, and they really didn't respect those farmers too much.
* many jews called up to polish army during mobilisation have deserted in the very first days of II world war. were they good citizens then? i don't think so. polish pre-war communist party was full of jews, and in mine opinion commie is the same pri.c.k as nazi.
* it was not "a few" jews to welcome
liberation from glorious red army, it was a common view in eastern poland. and guess who helped nkvd establish there
new order including plunge nearly two millions of poles to syberia, kazakhstan, etc?
* jews also didn't buy in polish shops, didn't go to polish doctors...
i'm not saying that poles were only poor victims of jews, i'm just showing the other side of the same coin. poles didn't like jews and jews didn't like poles. one side of the coin is what you called "state sponosred anti-semitism", and the other side is "community sponsored anti-polonism" and it's hard to say who was worse...
best reg,
tow.stalin.
