how ethnic Poles expelled thousands of Jewish Poles in 1968???
There you go again with needing to make distinctions plus outright lying about what actually happened and why.
These communists lost their cushy jobs because they were Zionists and rather than stay in Poland and find another job they emigrated on their own to Israel thus proving they had divided loyalties and deserved to be fired.
Nope, they were Polish communists aka ethnic Poles. From Polish villages and towns.
rather than stay in Poland and find another job they emigrated on their own
No, liar, they didn`t. They were forced to emigrate coz they were threatened by ethnic Poles they wouldn`t find any job and their kids would be expelled from universities and grammar schools.
Ethnic Poles gave Jewish Poles and Polesses a one way passport without the right to come back.
emigrated on their own to Israel proving they had divided loyalties and deserved to be fired.
That's what dual loyalists do. That Jewish assimilation is a funny thing...When it's beneficial to be Poles, they are Poles. When it's beneficial to be a separate minority, they are a separate minority.
Just as with blacks here...One day they Americans...Next day they are a Black nation with its own national anthem...
Then I would also accept it with a kiss. Unfortunately, I was only 5 years old at the time. Well, since normal Poles did not receive passports at all, Jews were treated better than Poles.
They were too full of themselves to find and do real work so left on their own and Israel welcomed them with open arms simply because they were Jewish and had demonstrated loyalty to Zionism rather than to Poland.
That's what dual loyalists do.
Yes, their life is an endless contradiction depending on which way the wind blows and they genuinely think no one every notices.
On paper maybe but Poland was still undertaking political and economic transitions. Jaruzelski was still president until the very end of December 1990.
So how did you get to travel to New York during a time of such upheaval without taking advantage of pre-existing commie-connections? :)
and people could travel to the West freely at last.
Congratulations!
How did you feel when you realized your communist education and values made you totally unprepared and incompatible with life in an actual capitalist country like America?
You must have been seen as completely alien to the Polish community in New York who had genuine Polish roots from the Second Republic and Government-in-exile. :)
you totally unprepared with life in an actual capitalist country like America?
I was unprepared but got a grip quickly coz I am intelligent and hard working. Ha!!! Besides, I spoke English which wasn`t so widespread among Poles at the time. HA!
completely alien to the Polish community in New York
I lived in Greenpoint, indeed, but didn`t contact local Polonia coz I was too busy studying, working and saving money for my own apartment in Poland. Ha!
Polish roots from the Second Republic
You mean those notorious antisemites from pre-war times, Dmowski epigones?? Then it is good I didn`t contact them. hahahaha
Dr Zamenhof lived in 19th century and was the Polish Jew who invented Esperanto - the artificial language which was still used decades ago by a few million people all over the world. Can you imagine that in the past Chinese readers got to know Polish literature through Esperanto???
Thank you doctor - you aimed at introducing a neutral language which nations might use to understand each other better thus avoiding wars and conflicts. How noble of you!
How did you feel when you realized your communist education
That depends on the meaning of "communist". I graduated from a "communist " Polibuda as MSEE and had a job as an engineer within 48 hours of landing in NY.
No, I didn't study Marxism 101, Gender Studies, or how to be a Social Justice Warrior.
For this crap, you have to come to America and after graduation be a receptionist at Planned Parenthood with $100k in debt.
Communist education was not perfect. I never learned how to become a woman in 3 seconds or less.
Assimilated Polish Jews sa Polakami z krwi I kosci!
...but it didn't say "Assimilated Poles sa Polakami".
What about the unassimilated Jews? If they were all "assimilated, there would be no need to add "assimilated", would there?
In Poland, if Jews were "assimilated, there would be no Jewish ghettos, because "assimilated" means:
"Assimilated" means to become fully incorporated, absorbed, or made similar to a larger group, culture, or system.
Polish Jews did everything humanly possible to stand out and be separate...From how they dressed, facial hair, language, where they lived, occupations, discrimination against Poles, to the insulting and derogatory words and phrases about Poles.
No, I would not risk my life for some Jewish azzhole who evicted me because I was late paying rent or was not hired by the POS because I was a goy.
Tell that last remark to Tadeusz Rozewicz, Julian Tuwim or Roman Polanski, that they're not really Poles. They'd spit right in your blind eyes and charge ya for the eye wash!
While it's true that Poland's Jews were not as integrated into mainstream society as those Jews in Germany post-Enlightenment, the above named persons considered themselves Poles first and foremost.
Sounds roughly like those Volga Germans living for centuries in Russia, not knowing a syllable of German, while claiming German citizenship, having never set foot outside their birth country!
