History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

I'm well aware of all that, kaprys, as I'm certain you must be aware by this time. However, for every "good" Catholic Pole, there were plenty out there willing to turn in their Jewish neighbor.

Again, not all gentiles were angels either! Do you understand what I've been posting, or only what you WANT to understand?

Wish you'd show me chapter and verse, if possible, where and when I do the things I've been accused of.

I'm dyin' to find out. Plus, I love reading fiction, helps me relax:-)

Thank you, roz!

At least somebody out there's paying attention and has a brain in his head:-)

There y'all go projecting again, foisting your own inadequacies onto others:-)

Point of info. Lenin was not Jewish.

Once you tell us what we intentionally perpetrated upon gentiles with malice of forethought, I'd be glad to:-)

Reminds me of the old anecdote about the American kid who meets a British child of the same age. One day, the American boy goes over to his English counterpart and punches him right in the nose,drawing blood. "What was that for?" asked the little English boy. "That's for almost winning the Revolutionary War!" "But that was over two-hundred years ago." replied the English boy. "Oh, I know.", said the American. 'But I only learned about it today!"

LOL

Anyone who feels they have nothing to apologize for cannot be taken seriously. Nothing is ever one-sided, either your side or mine:-)

Apparently you don't either. A bigot is a fool by any other name!

Kaprys, nor is arrogance a reason not to ask for correction.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Mixing apples and oranges there, gregy! Plenty of Jews went to bat for their Christian neighbors etc.

@Kaprys, many Catholics saved Jews. They did though risk the ire of the Church nonetheless.

As English is not either of your first language, I'm not surprised you've misunderstood. Therefore, I post in Polish:-)

Why all the historical anti-Jewish prejudice? We can thank Catholic teaching for much of it, I'm afraid.

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

All I'm saying is that many countres such as Poland and Austria avoided blame after the war. Now, it's payback time.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

You feel maligned, admitted. We too in the States maligned ourselves, such as slavery and the Native American issue.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

I "did" nothing to Poland!

There were upstanding Poles who tried to alert the West to what was happening. One was Jan Karski. On the resistance side, there was of course Leopold Socha, the Lwov sewer official, who hid Jews at great risk to his own life as well as that of his family:-)

Define please for us "Zionist". When you're done, then "Jewish Supremacist", because honestly, you don;t understand what the f***k you're takling about...in either language:-)

lol

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

Scarcely, if you even bothered to read my English! Poland however, unlike Denmark, Albania or Bulgaria, DID persist in abetting Hitler's anti-semitic policies. Like elsewhere, there was as much collaboration in Poland as there was resistance, although clearly in Poland, there was much, much more resistance than in either Germany, Switzerland, or Austria.

Motto of the story? NO country is or was "perfect", so quit whining and fess up to the facts!! Neither gentile nor Jewish Poles were angels, period.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

I'm not a Zionist, though trying to convince the ignorant of the truth is like trying to sail upstream without a paddleLOL

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

While I never ONCE as much as intimated that Poland was "responsible" for the Holocaust (your words, not mine), without local cooperation, upon which Hitler was banking heavily, the Holocaust wouldn' have proceeded as astonishingly quickly as it did! This is a fact, look it up in Raul Hillberg's monumentally resarched "The Destruction of the Jews" - unabridged version!

Poland, much as throughout the rest of Catholic Europe, had been spoon-fed the lie that the Jews killed Jesus. More to the point, Judas Iskariot turned him in...but to the Romans, and not to his fellow Israelites:-)

Anti-Semitism therefore remains merely the result of a mass misconception, not based on historical fact, pure and simple.

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

Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania etc. any or all of either collaborators or Axis powers:-)

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

The only double standard in the present discussion involves those who claim that Poland bear less culpability than the rest because she was occupied by the Nazis. In fact, without Polish complicity, to a large degree, the efforts of those responsible for the Holocause would have been immeasurable slowed down, if not halted.

As I've stated numerous times, hatred is a cancer, a virus which needs feeding. The Catholic Church had fed Jew-hatred for centuries, fueling the lie that the JEWS, and not the Romans, actually crucified Jesus!!

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

Surely, savior nations such as Israel, along with those whose history was responsible for Auschwitz, that is, for the Holocaust such as Germany, to a lesser extent Poland. The US too should help out, as well as France, Russia and various allied countries during the War.

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

I call them fellow Polish citizens who may have Communist leanings, that's all:-) Not every issue is black or white, Ironside! That rigidity of thinking will slow you up every time, prevent you from seeing the facts clearly..

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

Spot on as usual, matey!

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

Accusing those with whom you disagree as "Communists" is merely the same old playbook which accused the Jews en masse of fostering Communism!
The same sort of thinking was used by various German historians, as I'm sure you know (if not by name) to semi-justify the Holocaust as a reaction to the Jewish presence within the Reich as abetting agents of Moscow:-)
