History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

Nobody's perfect, Rich! Wagner helped pave the way for Hitler and yet we acknowledge his incomparable contributions to culture.

Understood already that most Poles are Chrístian, DUHH, hence Jews are the minority.

Aleksandr Ford, Roman Polanski, and Agnieszka Holland belong to some of Poland's greatest post-War directors! Henryk Szeryng was one of the most renowned modern Polísh violinists.

Love / Foreign Older vs Younger Relationships In Poland [20]

Your remarks sound to me as an American with many years of close contact with the Polish professional community more like typically US- ethnocentric value judgements. Not ALL Polish women fit neatly into such stereotypes. By the way, American men come across to Polish women I've known as testosterone-pumping, machismo manchildren!

The Enlightenment all but failed to take hold in Germany when it was most desparately needed, that is, during the rise of the Third Reich. Irrational Romanticism instead held sway.

Jews were blamed for being Christ killers and weren't even allowed to defend themselves.

The Church stoked the still smoldering embers of anti-Jewish hatred, fanning the flames against a people as one. So far, only Wojtyla has apologized-:)

Study / Humanities no longer in the top 10 of the most popular fields of study in Poland [36]

The focus of study has changed. Colleges and uníversíties are expected to become vocational centers which "dispense" job skills and little more. Once a student complained in class that I and the other professors were making too many intellectual demands on him, after all, he maintained, he was studying to be an electrician. At that point, I rose and asked the gentleman whether because he worked for a living with his hands meant he didn't work with his mind:-) As a boy, I remember our workmen were all modestly well-spoken and well-educated!
