Genealogy / What are common Polish character traits? [417]

I am not Polish, but my Jewish mother was born in Poland.
My Family never suffered from antisemites. On the contrary, they had many Polish friends. My mother's father was so popular with the "Gentiles" (not Jewish people), that they asked him (he was a lawyer) to become a judge.

My mother said polish people had a gift for painting (Jews do not have this talent), and she said they were very honourable (Polish Honour) and used to quote:

"usram sie i niedam sie" (please forgive the vulgarity as well as my spelling).

I think that many Polish people are saintly. So many of them endangered themselves to save Jews in WW2.
I also think that Poles are (at least when compared to Jews) very naive.
From your Jewish Polophil,
