History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]
Error duly acknowleged and apology on my end hopefully accepted. In future though, kindly refer in said context to "Germans" as "Nazis", since obviously not all Germans were Nazis, or even Nazi leaning. Also, Germany's considered themselves kaisertreu and German to the core!

Tell me about it! I was raised at home in New York with German ríght alongside English for the immediate formative years, later formally in college. Had I not grown up with it, I could never translate into German as well as English. Into Polish?? Never!

As an accredited translator, I was taught in school NEVER to translate into the target language, unless a bonafide, certified bilingual.

A tough stand might sound ok, but sometimes a feather is what's needed, not a sledgehammer.

Historically, you have a point. As to the thread topic, this will make it even more to the Germans' advantage to learn Polísh, although many Poles already know German.

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:-)
