History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]

I mentioned the Roma in a prior post.

Anywhere near the Poconos?

Obsessing, Maf?? Justifying it is as bad as ignoring it!

Only a deranged maniac exterminates a group of humans solely because of who rather than what they are. Jews were reared in a certain manner, some people are as they are, yet who justifies genocide except a miscreant!

Correct, Ironside. Katyn was political, Auschwitz was ideological/biological-racial.

Among Red Scarers, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."!

Wartime barbarísm is one issue. The wholesale ethnic incarceration and subsequent slaughter of a single people quite another.

Negotiate??! You're as loopy as Chamberlain. No "deals" with dictators! That's why Lindberg was such a louse.

Perhaps so.

Whatever that means. Was I just insulted? LOL

@Milo, let's not fall into the all too familiar trap of labeling merely the Camps as "The Holocaust"!!
The Holocaust essentially began the day Hitler assumed power and deemed himself Fuehrer des Dritten Reiches.
Auschwitz along with all the others were indeed the terrifying outward manifestation of all Hitler's ultimate plans.
However, to compare Katyn, a horrific yet once in a blue moon massacre with the nearly twelve-year long systematic, methodically sadistic, official, state-sponsored
program of mass degradation, removal, and assembly-line like annihilation of a single people (albeit non-Jews such as the Sinti-Roma were part of that
program) is not only insulting to the memory of survivors, it's historically and factually inaccurate.

Dirlwanger was one of the worst! A fella named Lorenz Hackenholt and a certain Willi Menz brought sadism to new lows.

@Oathbreaker, you just conflated two separate issues within the same post! The "loan Werwolfs" to which I was referring were in post-War Germany, not Poland-:)

History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]

Thank you! Again I say, spot on, mate.

History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]

You mentioned Kielce before, didn't you? Only even-handed then to mention the pogroms against local Jews alongside the uprising against the Nazis.

History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]

RIch, the Kielce Pogroms, unlike Jedwabne, were committed AFTER the War, which is what makes them so frightening, when you consider that after '45 and Hitler's ignominious defeat, the Nazi killings stopped, a battered, battle-scarred Germany surrendered and that was the end of that, a few bands of lone Werwolfs who roamed the countryside notwithstanding!

Most of the US voted for Trump, so amiga500 might indeed have a point!
As far as the thread topic is concerned, the Warsaw Uprising Memorial is dedicated in the end both to the Jewish Poles fighting against Nazi tyranny as well as to their gentile neighbors and fellow citizens fighting for freedom.

Language / Are czegos and coś interchangable? [14]

N.p. "CZYM moge sluzyc?* = (lit.) With what may [I]serve? czyli How can I help you? -:)

Language / Are czegos and coś interchangable? [14]

How then would you/one distinguish both the meaning and the usage of "czego" vs. "czegoS"? The compensatory "s with accent mark" is required here as elsewhere,

but I still don't understand why or how it is used. Please clarify:-)

Life / Polish patriotic music! [44]

Don't forget either "Warszawianka"!

Language / Are czegos and coś interchangable? [14]

With exceptions, such as a current student of mine, Ironside is correct. Then again, names, as with fashions, do go through phases:-)
@Maf, even more diminuated "Tadziu" LOL

Language / Are czegos and coś interchangable? [14]

Tadek, boije sie! - Czego? = Ted, I'm scared! - Of what?

Language / Websites with Audio translation... plus phonetic spelling (pronunciation)? [7]

Try ActiLingua. Someone I work work used it to learn Albanian, having ZERO background in any language, even from home. Never took a foreign lang in school, yet swears by the ActiLingua program.

USA, Canada / Poles living in the United States, what do you do? [16]

Throughout most of the industrialized West aka Western Europe, low ballers from low-wage countries have taken over now probably forty years and counting! Except for only top grade eateries expecting Scandis, Dutchmen, Germans et al to either sweep, clean or (horrors) serve seems nearly tantamount to cursing them out. The service sector though is not the only affected area.

USA, Canada / Poles living in the United States, what do you do? [16]

Same throughout most of the industrial world, Joker! This is why Trump's comment about wanting more immigrants to this country from Germany or Norway smacks of the purely brain dead. Without the legion of brown and tans here in the States, nobody could afford goods and services any longer. Sorry to sound cynical, but it's to the benefit of white Trumpists to have a steady flow of Third World labor doing the Difficult Dangerous Dirty jobs, or most businessmen in the US would plain go under.

History / Why didn't Britain declare war on USSR for invading Poland in 1939? [103]

Those who didn't understand capitalism, became and remained, Communists! The Aaron Feuersteins of the world, the JEWISH real-life George Bailey, was one in a million.

Jews don't have a monopoly on treason. Often though, they have been Communist rabble-rousers, as the Communist Utopia always
seemed somehow attractive to them....until of course they started becoming "successful"LOL
Even more of a Red-hater than the late Jack Valenti, was none other than the very identifiably Jewish Jack Warner!!

USA, Canada / Poles living in the United States, what do you do? [16]

Everyone here knows Poles are Black Market low ballers from way back! It goes deep into their Communist Era heritage.

Didn't Greenglass turn Ethel in?

So then you DO believe Ethel was innocent?
