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.

Poland did fight the Nazism since September the 1st, 1939. About 100,000 Jewish soldiers participated, so it is difficult to ignore the fight. The Poles were not silent. The government-in-exile demanded help for Polish Jews, its Jewish memeber Szmul Zygelbojm committed suicide in May 1943 to protest against the passivity of the world. Executed Poles were unable to shout, because the Germans (not only the Nazis) gagged them.
ReplyDeleteI do not know, what Tova Friedman has written. But her co-author Malcolm Brabant says:"And the worst thing of all is complicity. And, at the time, there was an awful lot of antisemitism in Poland. Not everybody in Poland was antisemitic. There were lots of people who actually fought really hard.But in the town that Tova came from, it was quite bad. " Which town was it?
