Again, the nation which gave us Szopen, Mickiewicz, Wajda, Pilecki, Wójtyla, and Karski, also gave us Roman Dmowski, Moscicki, and Rydz-Smigly! Every country has her black sheep, Poloniusz.

Genealogy / Am I of Polish or German descent? [10]

Many Poles can claim German descent. Yet, often Poles may actually deny any German connection. Prussians, by the way, are neither German nor Slavic, but Baltic:-) Does this help?

I simply meant that certain segments of Polish society were in fact Nazi flunkies, however, this clearly was a minority!

Poland is no more "guilty by association" than you or I! Poland was a mere pawn of the Nazis, forced into submission. Their record immediately post-War's anothdr matter.

Spot on, matey! History's always in search of victims, the weak link (no pun intended) on the wheel of causality. Once, it was the Jews, today the Muslims, tomorrow? Who knows for certain?

There's no "version" of the Holocaust! What happened is a matter of public record, no more, no less, so let's just stop playing David Irving.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

Apropos a Polish judge just brought action against two Holocaust scholars for allegedly downplaying Poland's role in the Holocaust. We're back to square one, folks.

No nation wishes to be publically besmirched! But when extant eye-witness evidentiary accounts are overwhelming, testimony MUST be heard. @Mr. Grunvald, I too am intimitely familiar with Den norske Modstandsbevegelse :-)

Mr. Grunvald, Norway had the heroes of Telemark as well as the swine Quisling:-)

The US is the country of my birth and my political allegiance. I am proud when my country does well, critical when she falls far short.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

I love my country too, Poloniusz, yet am nonetheless critical of it when and where need be.
