Readers of "Bieganski" know that ideologically motivated lies about the Holocaust are rampant in media and education.
Now this: Christophobes have banned Corrie ten Boom's Holocaust books from a publicly funded school. Why? Corrie ten Boom, the books' author, was a Christian, motivated by Christian ideals to attempt to save Jews from the Nazis. And you cannot say that, at least not in this publicly funded school. I'll bet you can equate Nazism with Christianity in that school, though.

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.

Regardless of the motives of the administrator in doing this, it is part of a much bigger problem. Leftists and Holocaust-education proponents are getting more bold and open in their attacks on Christianity, and the Church is just burying its head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteIn my studies, I have encountered many respectable Holocaust scholars, and theologians, that blame Christianity for the crimes of the neo-pagan, secularist Nazi movement. One such example, a relatively polished one, was critiqued by me in a book review, which can be accessed by clicking on my name in this specific posting.
It's amazing how many people try to tie Christian anti-Semitism to Nazism. Truly, it is.

DeleteCorrection: Speaking of that, have you heard of the book The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies Jan and Ms. Goska? The chapters 15 focusing on Catholics and Catholicism and chapter 40 focusing on Christianity in general repeat many of the SAME errors that Ms. Goska had exposed on her blog. These chapters have in their references and Suggested Further Reading Section such "classics" as Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews: A History by James Caroll(easily one of the worst books on the subject of the history of Christianity's largely troubled relationship with the Jewish community), to Hitler's Pope by John Cornwell(who has recanted his tissue of lies that is the book Hitler's Pope) to the book Holy Reich(another terrible book, to the book Christ Killers by Jewish historian Jeremy Cohen(easily his worst book. He also gave us the book The Friars and the Jews: The Evolution of Medieval Anti-Judaism, another terrible book but not as terrible as his book Christ Killlers). Also included in their Suggested Reading Section is the book The Popes Against the Jews by David Kertzer(another terrible book). There is certainly much in the history of Christianity, especially including chapters of the relationship with Jews that is very shameful as well as far much more good in church history as well. But misinformation like this material in the book The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies doesn't make things better. It seeks to keep on poisoning Christian-Jewish relations.
DeleteAlso the historical truth about imperialism is thay it's beyond such simple labels as "good" and "bad". It's MUCH more complex than that. Also the history of the relationship of Christianity with imperialism is complex Ms. Goska.
