Jewish Roots of Poland [637]
I suppose a Jew of this generation born in Poland could say that, but there aren't many of those living in Israel.
Probably for the best. I'm a young guy in my mid twenties and had the chance to go inside Jews home in Toronto. An older guy, maybe 60 years of age. He had a few beautiful, vintage looking paintings (what is it with Jews and paintings?) in his apartment. I began complimenting him on the art work and he became suspicious and asked me what my ethnic background was. I replied, "Polish." He asks, "Are you Jewish?". I said, "No, Catholic." Needless to say he quickly became very unpleasant and muttered something about if his mother saw me here she'd run away- blah blah blah. He became quite belligerent and wanted to know my full name, etc. It felt kind of like an interrogation. I don't know if this crazy Jew thought I wanted to steal his paintings or something but it was a pretty awkward few minutes. I do photography so I was naturally interested in his art work. So the point is it's been a couple of generations after WWII and crazy a'ss Jews are still going after Poles over nonsense. How is a person my age supposed to begin to like Jews if they're so self centered and belligerent? I don't deal with Jews too much but I already know I do not like them. Poles don't complain over Germans and Russians like Jews do about Poles.
