Article in Polityka that references my work on Bieganski: The Brute Polak Stereotype. The author of this article interviewed me for a long time, and he seemed interested in what I had to say. The greater part of what I did say does not appear in the article, alas. In any case, I am very grateful that Polityka offered some coverage to my work. You can read the article 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.

ReplyDeleteI wish that it was possible to read the full article without subscribing to the publication.
Thank you. Your kind words are very gracious.
DeleteCongratulations, Dr. Goska! I hope more newspapers will reference your book and more readers will read it.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for this blog! This is the only place where I have been able to express my views on the Jewish-Polish affair freely. Your blog helps me cope with the mental and emotional anguish I experience as a result of the rabid anti-Polonism I encounter everywhere.
Ane Brody, thank you.
DeleteCongratulations Danusha. Using Google Translate, I got as far as the cost of the cheapest two-way tickets from Warsaw. Nonetheless, I’m sure it was an informative piece. Sorry that it was trimmed at the expense of other salient points.
ReplyDeleteI’m going to Poland on a tour this summer and will break away for an afternoon to meet with cousin Alicja and her husband Szczepan. I sent them a copy of the Polish translation of Bieganski and look forward to hearing their impressions.
Congratulations again – this time for appearing in the March 2018 edition of the Polish American Journal. The article cited a number of quotes from your opinion piece in Haaretz and also referenced Bieganski.
Gene would it be possible for you to scan that PAJ piece and email it to me?
DeleteExcellent news, and thanks for all your sterling work at this difficult coal face.
ReplyDeleteSue thank you.
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding Polityka to my today's shopping list to read the piece.
Thank you.
DeleteHello Dr. Goska,
ReplyDeleteI've read that article, and the interview with You was the best part of it. Plus author mentioned Your book, and that is great.
While I have a low opinion about Polityka, I do hope that other newspapers will follow their example and contact You.
