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.

Mr. Mazurczak made a mistake. Kazimierz Pułaski was "the father of the American cavalry", not Kościuszko.
ReplyDeleteI also think that allowing Jews to keep Yiddish was a fatal error. And permiting that hassidism to spread or even exist was a deadly folly.
Too much tolerance is unhealthy.
In Germany Jews were very German. In France- very French. In America- very American.
But in Poland Jews were...well, very Jewish. And look how it ended.
West had smarter approach.
