History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [599]

Bernie was but the tip of the iceberg! Furthermore, as I recollect, our Yankee doodle Dandy Robber Barons were NOT Jewish.

Through no inherent fault of course, but they had the thankless task of needing to survive...with ZERO help from any Jewish auxilliary organizations, most of which didn't exíst at the time-:)

The early Jews were typically not allowed in most creative endeavors, school quotas and the like (even art schools!). Therefore, with precious few exceptions such as the incomparable Edith Head neé Horowitz, Bernard Herrmann, Miklos Rosza, directors Lewis Milestone, Henry Koster ("The Bishop's Wife") etc., most Hollywood Jews ended up as ruthless, cut-throat money men further fueling anti-Jewish stereotypes.

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-:)
