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.

Wladyslaw Bartoszewski is most remembered for being one of the co-founders of ZEGOTA, the one-of-a-kind (in German-occupied Europe) organization devoted to the systematic rescue of Jews.
ReplyDeleteIn 1970, he published an extensive English-language book (click on my name, in this posting, to see my review). This detailed the Polish rescue of Jews. Owing to the fact that it included testimonies from the 1950's and 1960's, it inadvertently refuted the contention that Polish rescuers of Jews were unwilling to identify themselves owing to the presumed anti-Semitic attitudes of most Poles.
Just been reading about his career. As someone said, there was enough there to fill three lives. Great man. RIP
