They informed Western allies who did nothing with it.


Now you are committing a crime of denial which is prosecuted in Poland and other countries.


Exactly! To be more precise, not all Poles and Polesses were such. Mostly nationalists or uneducated white trash. There were still decent people who saved Jews.

Yes, last year and I see you didn`t learn much. That is why we shall continue our education.


The situation in the capital city ghetto was similar. It was described in another periodical of the Polish Underground State - "Agencja Prasowa" (issue of October 7, 1942):
As soon as the tenement houses in the Warsaw ghetto were empty, hordes of jackals set off there, behind those ghastly walls , to steal bloody, corpse-smelling property without a thought. (...) The policemen are followed by the scum of society, plundering and stealing whatever they can. (...) Groups of youngsters, even 12-14-year-olds, now roam the streets of Warsaw, unabashedly trading in stolen goods. What is particularly disturbing is the fact that the general public does not react to the sight of this abomination (...). It is embarrassing to say that the theft of property is tainted not only by the little people, people with a low intellectual level, but also by individuals with signs of, or at least aspirations to, intelligence (...). We are informed from various parts of the country about similar cases of collective lack or decline of honesty and a sense of humanity .

Polish volleyball team includes one black guy. While the American team also has one dark guy. But the Polish player is darker than the US one!
It is discriminatory coz Blacks make 13% of the US population while in Poland it is about 0.1%.
Americans are known for their racism which is also proven in this forum.

Snow, mud, whatever, are of no concern here.

History / Polish Army Day [82]

Major preparations for military parade. Major difficulties in Warsaw
The parade on the occasion of Polish Armed Forces Day will cause traffic disruptions on access roads to Warsaw, as well as in the capital itself - informs the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. Due to the need to transport equipment and conduct the parade itself, some streets will be closed. GDDKiA has marked out detours.

This year was unusual coz the ripe season came very early. About 1 or 2 months earlier than normally depending on produce.

I could dig up our own potatoes at the end of May and collect a lot of fruit in early June. Amasing changes are taking place in the Polish climate.

Yes, they won`t tell you that long ago the Polish king invited Jews to settle in Poland and gentry elites took advantage of business skills.of their Jewish subjects. Jews prospered in Poland for centuries thanks to one decision. Go and blame the king. His remains rest in the Wawel Castle.

Wrong comparison! The more you shop there, the more taxes will the Polish state receive from the owner.
When you go shopping in Portugal, what is the benefit for Poland from it??

Polonia / Should I visit Portugal? [35]


No, you shouldn`t because it is unpatriotic to spend money in another country than yours.

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]


And he told the truth. The nationalists and far right were very strong before the war and the colonels` government closed an eye to boycots or outright discrimination of Jews.

Here, nationalist uni students demand the seperation of Jews from aryan students, the so called desk ghetto. They also demanded numerus clausus restriction which was to limit the number of Jewish students to 10%.

So, the times weren`t so rosy for Jews. Hence, later massacres, robberies and Jew hunts performed by Poles during the war.
