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.
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.
T'he 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 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.
You publish a Nazi German poster without a warning. It is not a Polish poster. A Polish-Jewish journalist is against the Krakow ban . The Wikipedia article you quope was partially written by Icewhiz, an anti-Polish activist. Millions of Eastern Europe peasants had almost no money. They exchanged things and services. Some local Jews did basic banking. Is such knowledge of millions to be rewritten? Should Polish Jews wear Polish pesant folk costumes and plow (rare in Russian part of Poland)? Our 'Blacks' were peasants so 'Peasants Lives Matter'. You understand tragedy of Black US people but you do knot understand tragedy of Polish and Ukrainian peasants, serfs, later poor workers or farmers. I am a mathematician, I lack knowledge to describe the problem especially in English.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Jerzy, Danusha does "understand tragedy of Polish and Ukrainian peasants, serfs, later poor workers or farmers." In fact, she's written a book about it. Check it out. It's called "Bieganski: The Brute Polak Stereotype in Polish-Jewish Relations and American Popular Culture."
DeleteLiron Rubin
Mr Rubin, I have the book and plenty of other books. If you do not like my opinion about the Cracow law, please read the article by Pawel Jedrzejewski. I prefer his opinion, because he is Jewish and lives in Poland. The real problem in Poland is poverty, not LGBT or figurines.
DeleteJerzy, your post, above, is not a logical response to Liron's post.
DeleteI keep my opinion - many peasants had no money and local Jews did banking so they had some money. Many peasants did not understand compound interest. The stereoty of Lucku Jews is not antisemitic. https://jasonfrancisco.net/lucky-jews
Delete'Disgrace to Poland'? A number of figurines in several tourist shops? How do you measure level of disgrace? I believe that killings are the worst, later beatings, later anti-semitic organisations. All popular around the world, but not in Poland.
ReplyDeleteWell, for sure, I would not be buying one! (or selling one).
ReplyDeleteMe neither.
DeleteWell, Poles ain't forcing anyone to buy or sell them.
DeleteThose figurines are just a speck in Poland's eye. West has a bigger problems.
About that poster, Dr Goska. I do get Your point. Ostjude with coins. Member of middleman minority. But it's a German poster. German had no such minority. It could very well be a Tatar with a bloody saber in hand.
Now, it so happens that Poland had a middleman minority.
That German poster is an antisemitic image. Polish figurines are a result of historical experience.
Below are some links to videos about Poles, Jews and figurines. I hope that You will enjoy them.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteOn June 24th 2021 U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken visited Berlin (Germany). He gave a speech in which he said:
"Eighty years ago this week, Nazi forces invaded the Soviet-occupied city of Bialystok, Poland. They pulled Jews from their homes, beat them, executed many on the spot. Some forced older Jewish men to dance, and if they didn’t like the performance, set their beards on fire. Then the Nazis herded more than 700 Jews into Bialystok’s synagogue and set it ablaze."
Article in American newspaper Los Angeles Times describes it as follows:
"He spoke of the plight of Jews in Bialystok, Poland, where bigoted residents burned the beards of rabbis and torched synagogues long before World War II and the Holocaust."
Journalist who wrote that knew what Mr Blinken had said. She also could do some fact-checking. She chose to deliberately lie and to distort historical facts.

Last link is to an article written by Mr Paweł Jędrzejewski. I think Dr Goska, that You will find it very interesting.
