Bieganski and Our Conversation

Stanisław Wyspiański, self portrait with wife

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. 

As in the past, the following guidelines apply:
Your comment is more likely to be posted if: 
Your comment includes a real first and last name.
Your comment uses Standard English spelling, grammar, and punctuation. 
Your comment uses I-statements rather than You-statements. 
Your comment states a position based on facts, rather than on ad hominem material. 
Your comment includes readily verifiable factual material, rather than speculation that veers wildly away from established facts. 
The full meaning of your comment is clear to the comment moderator the first time he or she glances over it. 
You comment is less likely to be posted if:
You do not include a real first and last name.
Your comment is not in Standard English, with enough errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar to make the comment's meaning difficult to discern.
Your comment includes ad hominem statements, or You-statements. 
You have previously posted, or attempted to post, in an inappropriate manner. 
You keep repeating the same things over and over and over again.
Your comment consists only of a link or reference to outside material.

  1. On February 5, 2018, Politico published an article titled “How many Polish PR specialists does it take to defuse outrage over a Holocaust law?” [sic!] by Polish Jewish author Michal Broniatowski. The article not only has a scandalous title but also contains distortions of the historical record.
