History / remember, forget, forgive, blame ... Holocaust Memorial Day in Poland [229]

Germans did this to fellow Europeans:

Well....most of the jobs were actually done by either voluntarily or forced natives. Most Germans besides the Einsatzgruppen acted more as planners, organizers and overseers.

Without the more or less enthusiastic groundwork in those countries where most of the Jews lived it could never have been done so "successfully"...so clean your own backyard first!

spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,625824,00.html

Using such a day for his germanophobia is a "McCoy"-thing to do...no doubt! f*uck you!

Is "Holocaust" a Hebrew word? Where did it come from? What does it mean?
I've heard one translation but I'm not sure if it's correct, anyone here speak or know Hebrew?

The jewish word for this is "Shoah".

History / Polish historical myths - to break or not to break them? [257]

With being white and European there alone is bunches to be proud of...without resorting to myths, that's my point!

Especially if you not all the time has to go to war to defend some myths everybody else and their grandmom knows to be only myths...

And I as a German know alot of all the bad stuff my people has done, doesn't stop me from being proud of all the good stuff! It's all one package...no cherry picking allowed! :)

Plus, I can criticize my wife, but I will get very upset if you do.

But...but...but....you called me "Polak in denial"! Hence I can criticize too without you getting upset!!!

;)

...and I still don't know what "psubracie" means....

People are smart.

Do you want me to gather all the threads here on PF attacked as anti-polish propaganda because a German or a Brit or a Jew or whatever does not show Poland/Poles only as it's best???

That has nothing to do with smartness but everything with knowledge!

One myth at time though. Maybe how the Teutonic Knights were spreading Christianity in Poland?

Good example!

I don't know of any German painting the Teutonic Knights as benign civilization bringer holding the torch of freedom (anymore that is)!
Nor would we call it "anti-german propaganda" if you complain about them! ;)
I think we see them quite realistically...

What's a "psubracie"?

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

Oh god...I once had it....lemme go looking..

Okay...I give up....I can't find the original.
But I believe the paper has an archive! I wished they would put it online like Times or Spiegel recently...

Nothing beats reading original articles from that time - history as it's best!

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

Can you find full text not only single quote ?

Maybe the Daily Mail has an archive where we could find it...
But this special quote is from an article from 6th August 1939.

I would say leave the myths alone.

It makes talking about history and even current events quite a struggle sometimes.
Especially with people fed on those myths who start to accuse you of "fabricating anti-polish propaganda" the moment you mention otherwise (outside of Poland that is) well known facts...

Also upholding myths which paints one side only totally rosy is not helpful for any reconciliation at all!

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

He was a Field Marshall. He must have known the true state of Poland's armed forces and materiel.

Well...ESPECIALLY if you know about it better than the masses. What should he have told them?

"Ummm...erm....okay guys...we better cave in...my tank has crashed three times on me on my way here...we have no chance and you can't trust frenchies anyhow....let's go home..."

I think he would have been punished for "defeatism" then...

What more...two countries about to go to war....blood has to be heated up, propaganda to spill, the masses made to scream enthusiastic...the same old everywhere!

What else should he have said?

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

one sentence out of context by the man who didn't run Polish diplomacy or government prove exactly nothing.

Well...he said that at a ceremony of graduates of a military academy if I remember it correctly.
At least it speaks volumes about the mood in the country I would say...

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

This quote floates around

Well...it throws a light at the tensed relationships between our states then (and typical polish overestimation).

Poland was geared up for a fight as was Germany...plus Poland counted on France and GB to get her nuts out of the fire should Germany prove to be to much!

Yeah, we brought communism on ourselves.

If I were mean I would say that after all you DID fight on Stalins side and helped him win..but I won't! ;)

Genealogy / Neugebauer surname in Poland / Nestor, Zurawel, Worobec, Atamanczuk in Galicia Poland [27]

I also know a guy in college who has the last name Neugebauer and he's Jewish.

Probably a mix...married into non-jewish new farmers (some centuries back)! ;)
Not all "-steins" for example are purely jewish nowadays either...

It doesn't mean that Jews farmed.

No it wasn't!
As during the middle ages second names were needed to differentiate between the people, professions, characteristics or origins and locations were used...not randomly assigned.

About the origin of jewish names:

Genealogy / Neugebauer surname in Poland / Nestor, Zurawel, Worobec, Atamanczuk in Galicia Poland [27]

Neubauer Standes- oder Berufsname für den neu angesiedelten Bauern

It's not a jewish name....Jews weren't farmers...I don't know any Jew with the name of Neubauer/Neugebauer.

NEUGEBAUER: German or Yiddish (Askhenazy) name for a (largely unwelcome) new settler, newcomer or outsider.

What makes you say "unwelcome"?
The name just states a fact: "neuer Bauer (new farmer) - Neubauer/Neugebauer"

...
Jemand, der als neuer Bürger in eine Gemeinschaft hineinkam, ein Neuling, Neuankömmling, konnte einen Beinamen erhalten, der auf diesen Umstand Bezug nahm. Eine sehr große Zahl von Familiennamen ist so entstanden, die einfachste Namensform ist Neu, mundartlich Ney, Nigge, Naue, auch Neue und Neuer gehören dazu.

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

No he wasn't.

In the end he was the reason for the defeat of Germany and for the now ruling political correctness and all that multi-kulti ideology.
In the end he destroyed everything...good ideas or not!

That with the Anglo-Saxon invasions is old news, also that England means "land of the Angles", also that English is a germanic language...only the genetic findings were abit of a surprise!

History / Polish-German alliance. [489]

Once the article made an estimate that between 10k and 200k Saxons emigrated from Germany i stopped treating it seriously.

Just read the wiki entry about England...it's all about germanic tribes...

/wiki/England

he name "England" is derived from the Old English word Englaland, which means "land of the Angles". The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in England during the Early Middle Ages.

English is a West Germanic language that developed in England during the Anglo-Saxon era.

...and so on.

They have germanic names, germanic genes, germanic language ...what more do you want? ;)
