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

Why would you blow up crematoria in January 1945 and the day before the camp's liberation if not to hide the evidence? They could just leave them as they were.

The inconsistent destruction of the crematoria at the camp-where some were partially dismantled while others remained operational until shortly before liberation-suggests that the efforts might have been influenced more by a scorched earth policy rather than solely aimed at hiding evidence. As Allied forces advanced, a scorched earth strategy could have led to the targeted destruction of infrastructure to deny its use to the enemy, rather than a coordinated attempt to completely erase evidence of the atrocities. The timing and partial nature of the destruction reflect a response to the imminent threat of Allied forces and practical considerations rather than a purely evidence-concealing strategy.

The guards failed to destroy some of the storerooms - what was left there is what you can see on display.

Why destroy only the crematoria but not the storerooms full of other evidence?

They had plans to force the prisoners to serve as slave laborers for the Reich...November 1944 - when it was already obvious that the Nazi Germany is going to lose the war.

That is really inconsistent. If the Nazi leadership realized the end was near and ordered camps to be dismantled or destroyed then it makes no sense to hang on to 56,000 prisoners "to serve as slave laborers for the Reich."

Omitting that fact was falsifying history

Are you saying that other groups of prisoners were never gassed, shot or cremated in the same camp?

The inscriptions displayed at the camp with the revised numbers are qualified with the phrase "mainly Jews" not "all Jews". Only the Sonderkommandos were exclusively Jewish and recruited to assist the Nazis with the disposal of corpses but they are rarely if ever mentioned when discussing history.

Shame on Americans.

Shame on Communists.



And don't forget that Poland has legislation that criminalizes the denial of communist crimes. This reflects the country's history of suffering under both Nazi and Soviet occupations and aims to ensure that the atrocities committed by communist regimes are not forgotten or downplayed.

It was obviously way easier and quicker to burn sheets of paper than to destroy "everything that is now on display"

The link you provided outlines a two-year timeframe of events concerning various buildings. One account describes imprisoned laborers damaging a building during a revolt (and these laborers would not have had any reason to conceal evidence). Another account mentions the hasty destruction of a different building the day before Allied troops arrived at the camp. Earlier accounts indicate that some buildings were repurposed or demolished, but there is no evidence suggesting that these actions were part of a cover-up, as other buildings continued to be used for the same purposes until the very end.

There are plenty of personal items from prisoners on display as well at the museum. Clearly these could have easily been destroyed too. Why weren't they but the documents were?

Btw, have you heard about the "death march"?:

No reason given for marching 56,000 prisoners out of a death camp of all places and then either shooting or allowing thousands of them to freeze to death along the way to somewhere else.

Even if the German soldiers were trying to run away from the approaching Allied troops it doesn't make any sense logistically to take 56,000 prisoners with them. What if they had reached somewhere like Germany? What were they going to do with tens of thousands of prisoners? Kill them there? They could have just shot them back at the camp or abandoned them there to die.

I think he complained about basic facts not being mentioned.

If all lives matter and if things like race and gender are merely social constructs then it is correct and consistent to say "people" were murdered.

Why should there be a need to overemphasize what happened to a self-identified majority when the exact same thing happened to many others who were not part of that self-identified majority?

What "other evidence"?

Everything that is now on display.

without mentioning that majority of them were Jews.

So they complain that the communists had an agenda but the Jews never did?

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

That was the Soviet Union estimate. The Nazis destroyed most of the documentation, so it wasn't known how many exactly people were murdered. The Soviet committee made a mathematical estimate.

Why destroy only the documentation but not what is shown as being all the other evidence?

Anyway, according to a published article the numbers were deliberately concocted by the communists for political reasons and the numbers changed only after the communist regime collapsed.

FIXING THE NUMBERS AT AUSCHWITZ

"...scholars of the Holocaust now agree that the Auschwitz death toll was less than half the four million cited here for four decades. The actual number was probably between 1.1 million and 1.5 million..."The numbers that we dealt with before were numbers that were politically motivated," said the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council in Washington. The communists tried to "de-Judaize" Auschwitz to emphasize that other nationalities, particularly Poles, died at the hands of the Nazis..."

chicagotribune.com/1992/05/07/fixing-the-numbers-at-auschwitz/

Wrong. The estimates were around 3 million.

No, you're wrong (as usual!).



Don't you go around telling everyone that you teach for a living and live close to the old camps too having visited both during your Soviet youth and after you lot lost power in Poland? :)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]

This tiger camouflage would make sense if this plane was flying over the desert.

It could have been painted that way simply for safety purposes or for special events.

In the case of this particular version of the MiG being used as a trainer the bright and contrasting color scheme would make it visually stand out better if it ever crashed anywhere on the Polish landscape.

NATO countries hold "Tiger Meets," multinational exercises and professional exchanges where participating aircraft, including those from Poland, are painted with tiger patterns.

Some Polish air squadrons traditionally used "flying tigers" as emblematic mascots since their first founding. I couldn't find any explicit explanation for this choice of mascot but it might be related to the historical use of animal furs by Polish hussars, who wore fur over their armor. While leopards are commonly cited, there are also historical depictions of tigers being used.

Yes, there are still a lot of decent Israelis

It's astounding how Zionists like Ada Willenberg can publicly express sympathy for the nearly century-long plight of the Palestinians while comfortably benefiting from the very land taken from them. It's like throwing a pity party for someone you've wronged while enjoying the fruits of their loss - truly a masterclass in hypocrisy.

No, you are still poor even with the 28.57% bribe for votes that Tusk gave with one hand and took away with another.

But let's forget about you for a moment and ask why your kids won't have the opportunities, independence and ability to buy on their own under the Tusk regime?

You are admitting that you literally have to pay for your big mistake voting for Tusk! :)

Ok. I'm [a] dumb ass.

I didn't read your rant but copied and pasted it into a personality assessment program and was not surprised by the results.

The writer of this text displays several personality traits that could suggest underlying issues:

Aggressiveness: The tone is confrontational and hostile, indicating a tendency toward aggression in communication.

Defensiveness: The writer feels the need to assert their identity and knowledge, suggesting a defensive stance when it comes to their contributions and identity.

Exclusivity: There's a clear in-group versus out-group mentality, emphasizing loyalty to self-identity and dismissing others.

Low Tolerance for Criticism: The reaction to perceived slights is intense, suggesting difficulty in handling disagreement or critique.

Superiority Complex: The writer presents themselves as a knowledgeable authority on issues, which may indicate a need to feel superior to others.

Need to Control Others: The use of phrases like "you are officially on my blacklist" shows a strong desire to regulate interactions and assert dominance over the community dynamics.

Overall, the writing reflects traits associated with possible borderline or narcissistic tendencies, but this is speculative and would require further context and professional assessment to draw any concrete conclusions.

At least 40 generations. They are authentic instead of the contemporary converts with pale privilege that we all know of today.

But many have ties to communities in Europe.

Black, Jewish And Avoiding The Synagogue On Yom Kippur

I'm a black woman. No one ever assumes I'm Jewish. When I talk about Judaism, people look at me in a way that makes me feel like I'm breaking into my own house. Especially the people inside the house.

You say you love the musicals of George Gershwin? Ha, that sounds just like Gershenfeld, my mother's maiden name, which is also my middle name, which means "barley field" in Yiddish, the language my ancestors spoke in Eastern Europe.

Like any petty two-faced online bully you are frustrated that you can't control other people.

You've been following other members around on this forum for years with unprovoked and trite personal attacks regardless of the topic. You've never posted anything relevant, interesting or original.

In this thread alone you decided to go after particular members you dislike for no other reason than to complain about not only what they post on PF but how they post it.

What is a 'hand out'?

Something for nothing.

In the U.K. though, it's a bit harder since salaries go into people's bank accounts.

You claim to live in Poland. You have no bank accounts in Poland? Are you hiding your income and savings from Polish tax authorities?

And since you are a braggart about having multiple passports why wouldn't you have accounts outside the UK and EU such as in your ancestral homeland of Turkey?

A out of date nickname for a football team in a city I'm not from?

It's a common nickname for anyone who resides there. You admitted severals times in this forum you lived there. Your embarrassment of having this personal connection is understandable but you don't need to lie in order to hide your shame.

The less capitalism the better.

So how much do you expect to get in free handouts under the new Marxist-Leninist government in Britain and how much of your own income and savings do you plan to hide from being taxed by them?

The Red Flag

And we all know what you are really giddy about; your juvenile love for draconian communist-era r*SSia! r*SSia! r*SSia (while still positioning yourself to dodge any and all new taxes imposed by "Sir" Smarmy Starmer)!

Here are the original lyrics to the song (not from the deceptively edited youtube video you posted).

The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.


So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns were sung
Chicago swells the surging throng.

It waved above our infant might,
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its color now.

It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.

It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down.

With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.

So raise the scarlet standard high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

Women are game-playing psychos...

Because they know they will always be the center of attention and get all the sympathy while the men they decide to turn against are tarred as rapists or homosexuals.

News / Rape and sexual abuse in Poland [202]

Men and women are not meant to be friends.

Yes and women know this.

There was a video posted on social media the other day of a crazy control-freak woman complaining about her boyfriend.

He invited her over to his place to watch a movie. When she got there she told him emphatically that she would only allow him to cuddle with her.

So, thanks to decades of rabid male-hating feminism and men lives being destroyed publicly with false rape accusations, the boyfriend did exactly what his girlfriend asked and just cuddled with her while they watched the film.

Her problem with this? Now she thinks he might be gay.

She would go, talk to the police and? It wouldn't go anywhere.

Exactly.

Not because of indifference or inaction on the part of the police.

It is because she would be advised of the following and then quickly make her excuses and leave:

Giving false testimony

Republic of Poland
The Penal Code

SPECIAL PART

Chapter XXX. Offences against the Administration of Justice

Article 233. § 1. Whoever, in giving testimony which is to serve as evidence in court proceedings or other proceedings conducted on the basis of a law, gives false testimony or conceals the truth shall be subject to the penalty of deprivation of liberty for up to 3 years.


This is why jaded women always prefer to use social media rather than the court system to attack men with false rape accusations.

Accountability is kryptonite to all women.
