ronside, do YOU understand the meaning of historical revisionism?? Of course the Poles don't want Gross' research
Lyzko do you understand what I'm typing to you? It seems that all goes over your head. What research there is not research nor any evidence, all there is Gross's narrative, fiction. Like you Jews say - grandma story instead baloney - am I right?
So Gross book is a kind of grandma story put into writing. You got it now?
Decent thinking people, TRUE Christians, not Sunday churchgoers, be they Poles, Germans, Hungarians, whatever, believe that such things that happened were wrong.
That is your theory. Well, you might be right to some extend because many people out there believe in a concept of the truth. Something which is founded on facts, verifiable facts, to do that one has special procedures and tools, scientific tools at his disposal and is able to provided result of proper application of said tools.
What I'm telling you again and again that Gross failed to do so.
The problem may lay in a fact that Jews in American (at least )have a certain mythology build into art that all the people where out there to get them, and Poles were among them as well, this myth circulated for decades and now wherever Poles try to set the record straight are being seen as in being in denial.
Sadly too, there are others among our tribe who seek to profit from both the ignorance and suffering of others. This is the real shame here!
Indeed, and it is even more important for people who are open to fact the truth whatever it looks like without excuses and prejudice. To do that facts, evidence and research need to be implied promptly. Forensic evidence in Jedwabne should be examined.
I might add at this point that more than half of all Holocaust survivors never saw as much as a penny in compensation aka restitution!
Well, neither Poles who face prosecution, lost of propriety, ethnics cleansing, mass expulsion and genocide, didn't see a penny of compensation, after the war those who were heroes of resistance were often tortured shot in the back of their head and put in the ditches by the soviet regime. to be forgotten.
Why should those people or their progeny compel to pay anything to anybody?
Perception that Poles in mass were enriching themselves by installing themselves on propriety of Jewish victims is false, that property belonged to the III Reich and nobody would be able to touch it without dire repercussions.
There is case of one Soviet official who perpetrated in such crimes guilty of murdering about 1000 (more or less) people who after 1989 went to Israel and Israel refused to extradite him. I can under presumption and law they operate under but that particular action is seen by some people as an evidence of evil Jews condoning mass murder of people as loon as their are not Jews.
In the light of above I think reasonable people who really want to get to the bottom of things should be working together.
herefore, the myth of the "sneaky Jews" en masse enriching themselves from their suffering's a bunch of hogwash not to mention a particularly venal slur.
There is not such a myth Lyzko. People who are interested in the issue know very well that all those money extorted in the name of victims are being appropriated on its way by shady characters, those gangster who run shady deal of blackmail, lies and lobbing and they have been exposed for that.
