Jewish Poland: A Bright Spot on the Map of Europe
Jewish Poland: A Bright Spot on the Map of Europe here

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.

Two days ago was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Roman Dmowski - perhaps something about that champion of Poles instead of reprints from non-Polish publications?
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for encomiums to Roman Dmowski, you are reading in the wrong place.
DeleteApologies, thought this was a Polish American blog. I will go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThere are many anti-Zionist Jews, like me, and many pro-Zionist anti-semites, with John C. Hagee being the obvious example.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the current situation in Poland is in regards to anti-semitism, attitudes toward Israel are entirely irrelevant.
no they are not entirely irrelevant. There are two sources of antisemitism in Poland: 1) muslims (small so far) and 2) "ultra" patriotic Poles (the ones that take their $ from the Kremlin). The church is involved in some of that but the church now is less an actor than an object fit for whatever group wants to use it (gay priests are invaluable for extortion - especially ones that collaborated with the Commies).
ReplyDeleteoutside of those two, there is no anti-semitism per se - rather dislike of foreigners so Jews should not feel special
Can you enlighten us any more, Mr Forman, about the alleged Polish dislike of foreigners? May I ask if this is based on your own personal experience as a foreigner in Poland?
ReplyDeletePS - loved 'Amadeus'. Any plans for more films?

I try to keep things civil but when people choose to post under silly pseudonyms there isn't much I can do.
