You're mistaken! The ever-popular Roman Dmowski wasn't exactly a friend of the Jews. Read "Kwestia zydowska"!

Poles, similar to the Austrians, but unlike the Germans, often seem unwilling to admit to either anti-Semitism or even Nazi leanings in wartime Poland.

As I'd already mentioned many times, Poland had a broader resistance movement than nearly any other European country, brave, unsung heroes, showing us that even a bunch of rotten apples can't ruin the whole crop!!

Until '45, defeated Germany had been the most recalcitrantly un- yea ANTI-democratic country in all Europe, whose Weimar Republic was about the most tragi-comic joke of modern history, prior of course to Chamberlain's "assurance" that "Herr Hitler desires peace in our time!LOL

Reminds me a little of the erstwhile "Historians' Debate" in Germany during the 198O's. The Right typically relativized the horror of the Holocaust and the Left stressed its horrible uniqueness.

When once in Italy, a friend of mine at the time from Rome and I came upon two people talking together. Not knowing Italian, I figured from their voluble emotíons that they were cursing one another out. Angelina explained they were making plans for a bíg dinner party:-)

Genealogy / Am I of Polish or German descent? [10]
Many European countries have a birthright based on country of orígin. This means that if one's birth parents are from abroad, even one born in Poland for example, might not be considered citizens aka nationals.

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?

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?

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.
