Bieganski the Blog exists to further explore the themes of the book Bieganski the Brute Polak Stereotype, Its Role in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture.
These themes include the false and damaging stereotype of Poles as brutes who are uniquely hateful and responsible for atrocity, and this stereotype's use in distorting WW II history and all accounts of atrocity.
This blog welcomes comments from readers that address those themes. Off-topic and anti-Semitic posts are likely to be deleted.

Your comment uses Standard English spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Your comment uses I-statements rather than You-statements.
Your comment states a position based on facts, rather than on ad hominem material.
Your comment includes readily verifiable factual material, rather than speculation that veers wildly away from established facts.
T'he full meaning of your comment is clear to the comment moderator the first time he or she glances over it.
You comment is less likely to be posted if:
You do not include a first and last name.
Your comment is not in Standard English, with enough errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar to make the comment's meaning difficult to discern.
Your comment includes ad hominem statements, or You-statements.
You have previously posted, or attempted to post, in an inappropriate manner.
You keep repeating the same things over and over and over again.

Thanks Di for reminding me of what I'm supposed to be doing. I've been busy with things and I don't get to check-in as often I as should.
ReplyDeleteIt's a simple post and I read the article on Reshat Ametov and his disappearance.
The part of all this that spoke loudest was the "No comments" at the end of the blog. By the time I was part way through I was reminded of Phil Och's song "Knock on the Door" . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tbiaGBZ8kY
Crimea is the beginning of a storm and there's "no comment". It's happened before and people sat by distracted by their own concerns or comfort the first machinations of something bigger and more tragic occurred. A little lost land, a border dispute, and suddenly the escalation leads to atrocity and people watch the aftermath and wonder how this latest tragedy could happen before they switch channels.
We've both lived lives effected by the aftermath of the past horrors that came from "no comments".
There's a storm coming and I don't know if anyone else see's it. Crimea is a knock on the door.
