Bieganski and Discussion of World War II and the Holocaust

David Cole, also known as David Stein, discussed the Holocaust and WW II on twitter recently. You can see some of his posts, below. Cole aka Stein is an odd person who has a history of Holocaust denial. In any case, this is what it is like for Polish people to attempt to have a serious conversation about the Holocaust. Our interlocutors just write us off as Bieganski. University professors, powerful authors, journalists, and average Joes and Josephines all do this.

Thanks to Jerzy for sending this in.

    I wouldn't dignify this lamebrain with a post on your blog.

    I assume the purpose of all the effort that went into putting us on the "unter" page was to silence us, or to be able to sneer anything we have to say out of court. Therefore I also assume that the truth of the Polish experiences in WW2 and after is seen as very threatening to the Official Versions of WW2.

    Its been very effective. But that is "the world" for you.

    Does this person have a facebook page do you know? (I don't Twitter or Tweet, it sounds like such a nasty venue.)

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 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.

You have previously posted, or attempted to post, in an inappropriate manner.
