History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


1/2 are Polish.

Whom do the Polish people hate more: Germans or Russians?

I don't like the word "hate" I think respect is better. As I see it, Germany did a lot of harm to Poland and did not deny or try to blame Russia. On the other hand Russia continues to pour salt on open wounds. I do not respect Russia and feel they are heartless.

So if we are using "respect", I have no respect for Russia at this point in time.

As for Ukraine???

Lets see if you were married to a Polish you had to kill your spouse and offspring.


Poland wants friendship due to blood ties also.

This aggreement was made in 1945. They are now getting around to it.

Say what! Try Roman Catholic, Polish sent to Siberia to die by Stalin. But we must not forget what happened to the ones not on trains. SS Ukraine was not perfect.

Aggreed, most of Polands military were exiled or killed when communist Poland came into play.


I do not see this as hatered, maybe it is time for Ukraine to say they are sorry, it was wrong like they said they would.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


Then Ukraine would not be asking for respect from 1932-33. By the way my family was there for this also. Why would this time period mean more than 1939-45?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


I guess when they did this they were not thinking of being seen for there actions. They were the worst war crimes of the times yet they were given a free ride and never stood trial.


Yes you could say as many victims as there are guilty of killings. My family was in Siberia, this does not exsuse what took place.

quote=miranda] Victim attitude and move on, but than again, it is only a suggestion[/quote]
I think we are waiting for Ukraine to say sorry.


Relocating vs. brutal murder, you judge?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


This is the main point"it should not be forgotten". We shall have a parade stopped if it glorify's members that are not held accountable. I think this was very hurtful. When Ukraine steps up and holds accountable the ones that did this the whole group will not be tainted, until then it is simply wrong.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]

Nope.


I think I'll just move back to my families estate, thanks. Start the coffee.

What about a simple memorial placed in Ukraine with names.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


I am all set in my life. What drive me is what happened to my family. Did they deserve to die? Seems to me it is not I that protects the wallet? Stop pretending if you insult loud enough we will forget our loved ones.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


Did you meet you grandmother?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


Are you referring to yourself and Abnormal Russian. I'm sorry if the truth hurts, it is not just yourself that was a victim. If it winds you up so much you can go to another question.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


I never said I hated anyone. My family lived in eastern Poland. Wolyn was where our home was located. In fact we had Ukraine's and Jewish living on our estate. My grandfather taught men and boys to read and write. I have documents that it was the Ukraine family that saved my grandfather from being shot vs. going to Siberia.

This does not make what took place 1942 OK. It was not OK and although Ukraine said they would say sorry, they have yet to do this.

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


Yes this is so true. It is like Russia now saying the Germans were responsable for "Katyn". The more they do this the worse they look. Poland has been abused by so many and silenced into not speaking the truth. I on the other hand know the truth and can stand up for the victims.

Ukraine relationships should be built on honesty, trust, respect. They are closer than many believe. A solid foundation vs. continued false history. What gets me is everyone knows the truth and not saying it makes the relationship false. Why not just deal with it so the future can have this trust?

History / Whom do the people in Poland hate more: Germans or Russians? [869]


If you knew anything you would be aware of the aggreement from Poland to settle with the land owners. This was decided in 1945 and all countries have put money toward this. If it was up to me compensation would not come from Ukraine but the real country responsable, Russia. With that out of the way.

It is my roots to Ukraine that I see need for dealing with this past. It would serve to bring a trust and respect into the relationship.

So much so they stuck us in off topic. I was reading that Poland is very good to Jewish today in Poland.
