  1. I have read the linked article, and the links to those.

    So Poland will no longer be the whipping boy for all manner of Holocaust-related accusations (not quite anyway), and so now the peddlers of these never-ending accusations are having a conniption.

    I just love it!

    1. Not true, the government of Poland will try to explain the problem to Israeli government and possibly to modify the law.

    1. On a side note I sent my copy of Bieganski to Mr. Tyrmand.

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.
