Have Poles blood on their hands? :)

Fascinating. How did they lose legitimate property "in the holocaust" ?


Oy ! Not only damn bastards were robbing poor, innocent and always victimized Jews, damn nazis were also killing them ! Obviously add to that "many", "often" etc. Holocaust industry at its finest.


It would also have helped a bit If the chosen hadn't massively collaborated with NKVD. And maybe If they have trained some matrial arts... so maybe 1600 ugly antisemites wouldn't have been able to murder 1600 always innocent chosens without any loses on the ugly antisemtic side. Oy !

What kind of argument is "this"?


If by above you mean that in those places some number of people were killed, murdered and most of them were of Jewish origin -


-I have no intension to convince you otherwise.

But if you mean something else than I would call it prejudice or foolhardy prejudice.

What I mean is that a big number of defenceless women and children were killed by people of Polish ethnicity solely because of their nationality. We could argue about the circumstances but the fact still stands.

And by THIS kind of argument I meant the kind of argument that lasts three pages with repeated use of statements which were used in other three-pages-long argument from another thread.

Its always safe to use the "what about" argument, ignoring anything you may be uncomfortable with.

in that case I would said (if you are genuine) that you are being mislead.
Anyway why do you persist in this folly is not clear to me.
Prejudices or temptation of being more holy then the Pope?
wrong cause then:)

Fascinating. There are basically two (If there were more, we would be reminded about them again and agian, don't worry about that) such cases: Jedwabne - the real wunderwaffe of "Poles are antisemties" crowd and Kielce - a smaller one but no less exploited. Jedwabne - there are completely no hard evidences of what happened there, I don't believe that It was completelly made up but the "official" version is so illogicial, It is offending for human intellect that It was commonly accepted to be true. Kielce - we now when and who was killed but still It is wierd, expecially that local authorities were involved and later the commie government was blaming anti-Soviet circles... The rest is just "many Poles were antisemitic", "many Poles participated in the Holocaust", "many Jews were murdered by their Polish neighours" stuff, which is as valid as "many Poles are being mudered in racially motivated attacks in the UK".

And I think you just don't understand my point. Read some of my earlier posts and you'll see that I'm always very much against applying colective guilt to my own nation. I just think that the rare, but definitely true cases of wrongdoings and shameful incidents need to be acknowledged.

Grzegorz
I agree completely. So what's the problem?

Two very bad things (at least) happened only an idiot would say that all Polish are anti-semitic jew haters.
The Nazi holocaust happened to a large extent in Poland that is not the fault of Poland and I can understand why Polish people are defensive about it.

The article I posted was trying to get away from the moronic view of Poles as Jew hating knuckle draggers.

Indeed, but we shouldn't be coned to acknowledge incidents when Polish population were only bystanders not perpetrators as in Jedwabne's case.


I will but not today:)


Indeed, funny that it was published in the Guardian,

In Jedwabne's case a bunch of moronic Poles were definitely perpetraitors. The rest of the town was simply too scared of the Germans' reaction to stop the slaughter. But you can't call them ALL just bystanders.

vetala
For their behavior and co-abolartion with the Germans I wouldn't call them Poles anymore, just some un-normal individual who happens to speak Polish.

IF it really happened.

Although most people think that a humans national feeling has to do with the language it speaks then im English!

*spits on all moronic creatures who are able to do something like that*

Let's make a distinction between state actions and individual actions. How can a country be held responsible for its actions when it was occupied is beyond me. Any justice system will not hold someone responsible when a gun is held to his head. How can a country be blamed for the actions of its individuals? How can an individual be blamed for the actions of the country? There are lines of responsibility here that must be drawn.

I see this thing is keep coming so:

Why build a house when you can go to germany and steal a German van ;-)

Another NKVD Jew working for Stalin's right-hand man in People's Poland -Jakub Berman. The murders committed by these Jews against Poles far outnumber the several hundred Jews who were killed in the after war chaos.

Well unfortunately it is. But it should be taken into context by remembering how some Jews behaved towards the Poles. No one is blameless, and that includes the Jews! Bierut is a prime example and for the doubters the Israeli newspapers listed the Jewish perpetrators as did Solzenicyn.

Hm, so every source that says that some Poles might be on the wrong side of the track is nonsense? And every source that says they were all on the right side of the track is a good and credible source? You're showing some true colours, there.


So we are back to square one again? We are thinking in groups and clubs again and not in individuals? Poles kill Jews, Jews kill Poles and the Germans and Russians killed them all. Soit. It's like that. Get over it, it's past. Live today.

M-G (tiens)

I've just read Laurence Rees's book on Auschwitz and the Holocaust. One of the things which keeps cropping up is how Jewish prisoners were made/expected to assist with the 'processing' of prisoners for transportation, selection and eventual murder. Some of the (Jewish) people he interviewed worked with the Sonderkommando or cut the hair of prisoners about to be gassed. They were often asked by the prisoners themselves, "How can you do this... how can you help them?" They admit that all that drove them was a desire to survive.

Likewise, ghetto police (Jewish) or such people as Rumkowski, the 'king' of the £odż ghetto saying "Give me your children!".

Interesting how when gentiles do such things it is because they are 'anti-semitic' but when Jews do it they are trying to survive.

Another point which Rees brings up, through interviews, is the handling and 'theft' of the property of gassed prisoners, not only by the Nazis but by the camp inmates themselves (Jewish and gentile). Once more, the case is made that it was about survival. And who can blame them... but this is a matter of human nature, not a matter of whether or not someone is Jewish, gentile or whatever.

It reminds me of a scene in the film "Defiance", where a peasant (Polish, I believe) is shot because he allegedly allowed his cart to be used to transport Jews. Can you imagine the ideal scene of what he should have done...?

Nazi officer: "We need your cart to transport Jews to Sobibor to be gassed!"

Poor Polish Peasant: "nay, foul nazi, begone, I will not aid thee in thy anti-semitic ways!"

Nazi: "Oh, OK, we'll ask someone else, we respect you views..." (exit nazi).

Errrm, somehow I don't think the scene would have worked too well.

Jews were shipped out of towns to be killed and their property was taken over by Polish squatters. The few survivors who came back to claim it after the war were driven away. Which is the part you don't understand?


Nobody says the government of Poland is responsible for Jedwabne. What people say is that Poles massacred Jews, because that apparently is what happened there. Whether that means Poles are anti-semites is for you Poles to discuss among yourselves. I don't care.


No. I use words like "often" when I don't have statistics. This isn't a court of law, so I don't don't need to bring numbers. My point is still valid, that the shocking thing is NOT the squatters in former Jewish property but the murders. I'm not talking about pogroms, which may have been isolated incidents, but murders of individual Jewish returnees. How many murders were there? Enough to be a phenomenon and not a freak incident.

1jola
I did.




plus some other flowers

Nazis, Poles, and wild dogs
he he he
when I read such crap I become nazi and I'm dreaming about big ovens

Ridiculous.
But the author of this blog actually BRAGGING about his communist daddy is just as riddiculous.


Obviously not. But have YOU actually read this nonsense? The author of that blog is a person who dedicates all of his free time to find as much sh*t on Poles as he can, no matter if it's true or not, just to show 'those nasty Poles' in a bad light. He's the exactly same kind of person as our dear forum antisemites.


Dude, it's a Holywood production. There's no place for actual moral complexity there.


327 confirmed, 1000/2000 estimated. Out of 180,000–240,000 Jews who survived. And it was 2/3% of total victims of post-war violence. I understand that Jews felt threatened but feeling threatened is a completely different thing from actually being in a mortal danger.


Szmalcowniks are described as a Polish phenomenon even though Anne Frank didn't survive a war because she was betrayed by a Dutchman. Also post-war violence is called a Polish phenomenon, not a Romanian, Slovak or Ukrainian phenomenon although pogroms and killings of Jewish returnees happened plenty of times over there too. And yet, nobody cares, because Poland is treated like some sort of symbol of antisemitism.

You are most likely not familiar with 1944-1956 period of Polish history and the prominence of Jews in the state terror apparatus. You should do something about this.

It's discussed as a polish phenomenon here because this is a Polish forum. Also because everything that happened in the holocaust is magnified in Poland since that's where the most Jews lived and died. There's no question that the other nations you mentioned were notorious in betraying Jews to the Nazis and that French and Dutch participated in rounding up their Jews and that Ukrainians and Baltics took part in the slaughter. But this discussion is about Poland. If I would be on a Lithuanian forum I'd give them hell, but then what's more boring than a Lithuanian forum.

As far as I have looked I never saw a Pole with blood on his hands.

1jola
They were acting with full approval of their Polish commie collegues and then they were kicked out. I hate them, but I'm far from appying collective guilt.

yehudi
Fair point.

And somehow makes it OK to murder soldiers who fought for independent Poland?


How sweet.


And you shouldn't. Show me how my post was ridiculous. You will have to compare numbers.

1jola
You missed my point. Jewish communists were acting on orders from Poles with the approval of Poles and for as long as Poles allowed them to. So there's nothing to compare, the only thing which their existance proves is that nationality doesn't make anyone a saint or a murderer.

Sorry, could you explain your post to me? I don't understand the context, I'm afraid. What house?

No, but that's not relevant to my remark. The remark was aimed at 1jola's tendency to dismiss anything that may conclude that SOME Poles may have done bad things as nonsense while literature that glorifies the Polish, their role and their attitude during WW2 is credible and is presented as proof of how good they were.

No ppl on Earth is completely pure and without faulty behaviour. And on this forum I sometimes get the impression that some ppl want to glorify the Polish ppl as being absolute immaculate when they are obviously not. No ppl is.
