Jewish culture in today`s Poland

Many Israelis stop in Poland on their way to visit the US.
I know a number of Israelis who actually managed to learn
Polish! Quite impressive.

Interestingly enough, they also speak German,
although their background, that is, their parents,
came from Poland before emigrating to Israel.

Where living people enjoy Jewish culture.

Also, there are hundreds of Jewish cemeteries where dead people and their graves give a proof of the Jewish culture in past Poland.
The condition of the cemetaries varies - from ruined forlorn or even bulldozed to well-kept places.

Over 10,000 volunteers helped restore 100 Jewish cemeteries in Poland last year

"That has left a rich Jewish cultural heritage - including hundreds of cemeteries - with very few Jews to care for it. As a result, the maintenance of many Jewish sites relies on local communities and volunteers."

notesfrompoland.com/2022/01/07/over-10000-volunteers-helped-restore-100-jewish-cemeteries-in-poland-last-year/

How unsurprising for the OP to ignore the contribution of actual Poles doing literally the dirty work to maintain these otherwise abandoned jewish cemeteries.

Why don't jews from around the world (especially Israel) come to Poland to volunteer time, labor and money to do the restoration and upkeep?

Can the OP give readers any examples in jewish culture of jews ever doing the same voluntary care of Christian cemeteries in Poland?

Shouldn't it be a centuries long jewish tradition in Poland for jews to return such favors to Poles?

Jews in Poland are not that assimilated.

Exactly. There are still hundreds waiting for restoration.


Go to Germans and Polish communists and complain there are so few Jews in Poland today.


It isn`t necessary coz there are millions of Christians in Poland who can take care of their own cemeteries.

A better example would be to ask how Jews in Israel take care of Polish cemeteries there. What do you know about it???

I would say they don't care at all.

And there are millions of jews around the world who should volunteer to do it. If they of all people don't care then why should anyone else?


That's you! :)

So what's your explanation?


That is such a pathetic excuse. Volunteers are never turned away. All it takes is kindness, a sense of community and most importantly showing up to help.


I refer to you to the MFA on this matter from 2023:

Statement on increased tensions around the holy sites and vandalism of a Christian cemetery in Jerusalem

"Poland condemns the recent act of vandalism and destruction of several dozen gravestones at the Christian cemetery on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, in the vicinity of the burial site of Polish civilians and soldiers of the Anders' Army, as well as Oskar Schindler."

Desecration of non-jewish graves is very commonplace in israel even Commonwealth Graves where Poles are buried.

From 2019:

Swastikas spray-painted on British war graves in Israel



thetimes.co.uk/article/swastikas-spray-painted-on-british-war-graves-in-israel-r2gpp63zq

Note how the revolting zionist vandals took care not to place swastikas and upside-down crosses on the gravestones that were inscribed with a star of david. Nevertheless they were still defaced with red paint for the unforgivable sin of not only serving in a goy military but being buried among them.

I noticed that it's always a Christian woman who converts to Judaism in American movies and sitcoms to please her Jewish husband, not the other way around.

Follow the money

Not always, johnny!
American Jews in particular have simply tried to mimic their money conscious W.A.S.P
neighbors and compatriots over the past hundred odd years.
Certain other groups didn't measure personal success by quite the same degree of assimilation.

...and in the process won hands down the contest for the biggest crooks in the history of mankind. See Madoff and the recent bit coin scumbag, Sam Bankman-Fried.

Quoting from haaretz.com/opinion/2020-10-04/ty-article-opinion/.premium/in-the-words-of-israels-founder-most-jews-are-thieves/0000017f-e504-df5f-a17f-ffdeaf5a0000

Even Ben-Gurion Thought 'Most Jews Are Thieves'

The quote in the headline wasn't uttered by an antisemitic leader, a Jew hater or a neo-Nazi. The words are those of the founder of the State of Israel, two months after it was founded.

BTW, the article was written by Mr. Levy, not Goebbels.

... and Piłsudski said that 'Poland is a great nation but people are kurwas'. Even great heroes have bad days sometimes :)

Virginia Woolf meets Sylvia Plath but make it Jewish.

Fradl Sztok's short stories were, for the first time, translated from Yiddish into Polish. The collection entitled White Furs and Other Stories is published by Fame Art publishing house...



... the book is already available in presale; the premiere is scheduled for 17th April.

...except that Ben was not wrong...
Jews are notoriously in the "service industry" that does not produce the nation's wealth - only moves it around and offers crooks a chance to take some off the top.

Other Jews are in the business of fvcking with our brains, especially children. See Facebook, p0rn, and other subversive enterprises.

Opportunity makes a thief, the same could be said about Russians, Americans, Poles or Germans.

Hey, it's the old Jewish proverb that "one gram of trade/business is better than one kilo of labour". ;) If you're smart enough to make money without breaking a sweat, then why not do it?


I don't use it and I don't think it's compulsory anywhere in the world.


My friend watched some of it and he told me that most people in it don't look Jewish at all. :)

Nice try, Alien. What counts is the degree of representation in the scam and fraud business. The contest for the gold medal is between Jews and Gypsies - wholesale and retail.

That's why Germans didn't like Jews even before Hitler. See "pogroms". Those took place for a reason, not because it was Tuesday and people were bored.

Are you sure "pogrom" is a German word? :)


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogrom

Please don't play stupid with me. It never ends well...This time I forgive you for that smiley face.

Google "Jews and pornography". Quoting:

... Jews were dramatically overrepresented in the p0rn industry...

A reminder. Next time, bring a gun to a gunfight. Leave that used condom for a better occasion...


I never said it was a German word.

This is a very German word, understandable to everyone.

You said "Germans didn't like Jews even before Hitler. See "pogroms"." It sounded as if you thought it was a German word.


I don't have to - I know enough about Orthodox judaism's stance towards pornography and what they call Tikkun haBrit...



... there's probably no other religion, with the possible exception of RC, that would be so staunchly against pornography.


... which doesn't change the fact that it's a word of Russian origin.

Being a Jew in the US has nothing to do with religion. Here, Jews are godless atheists with enough power to be evil. See Federal Reserve - from the very beginning till now.

I wonder if they conduct their meetings in Hebrew or English...

in American.

Nonsense.

There are atheist Jews and religious Jews, there are Jewish engineers, prostitutes, doctors and crooks; just like in any other nation. You're old enough to know that.

Sure or guessing?


"There are" is pointless. What matters is "how many" as a percentage of the total. How many Jews are firemen, police, and EMTs? How about farmers and coal miners?

How many Jews are pro-abortion? Try 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 99% percent...

I bet that overwhelming majority of firemen, policemen and EMTs in Israel are Jewish. The same with Israeli farmers.


I don't know, probably more than Christians. Not every other religion shares our code of values but it doesn't mean that they're "godless and evil".

I asked you not to play stupid.

I am smart enough to know the difference between Jews and Israelis. Two different everything...

You're playing stupid with your demonisation of Jews, because I can't believe that an educated person (and an engineer like me) can have such troglodyte views.

Pawian is right - you are just provoking and seeking attention. I'm not falling for it anymore.

You didn't point out to one. Instead, you play games.
Name one view of mine about Jews (not Israelis!!!) that is a "troglodyte".


No shyt! You are a true genius...

I am indeed. A misunderstood one, like all geniuses.

Why is it that when there is a Russophile poster here (and not a Russian himself) then he has to be a rabid anti-semite? Are there really no Philosemitic, Conservative Roman-Catholic, incorrigibly Russophile staunch Polish patriots on this board except me?
