Tuwim, Róziewicz etc. were both native-born Polish nationals of the Jewish faith! They knew only the Polish tongue and from what I've gleaned, had never even been to Israel-:) And you people want to kill their love and their pride? Wstydzcie sie!!

I went to one once in Greenpoint in the early 2OOO's. Neither of either parents spoke English and so my buddy Antek, the groom and Polish-American on both sides, asked me if I'd translate some before the ceremony.
