History / Polish hatred towards Jews... [1290]
Poles were my family's friends, they never called us "Bzyd", they even held my grandfather of such high esteem that they asked him to be a judge. Yet there were strings attached - if he wanted the position he had to be converted to Christianity.
My grandfather disagreed even that he was not a religious Jew, he was even against religion - never took part in Jewish feasts. He explained that it was beneath his dignity to leave a small poor people for a position.
