YIVO is running a course teaching students how to hate Polaks. It appears that the teacher is herself Polish.
Let's rewrite YIVO's course announcement and see how it plays.

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.

The reversal above demonstrates it perfectly. And no, no-one will complain. I guess it would be career ending to do so.
ReplyDeleteThe YIVO comment shows how certain Jewish groups want to control the narrative, especially about the Holocaust, and are getting close to desperate that they are slowly but surely losing control of the narrative.
ReplyDeleteWhy is no one complaining? I am not familiar with YIVO.org, but it seems that unless we complain to the source, we cannot expect anything to change. (I will try to contact them myself right now.)
ReplyDeleteBecause Polonia is disorganized and indifferent?
DeleteI just sent an email to the YIVO CEO . Let's see if he responds. I hope others will write as well.
DeleteJanicka at YIVO 2020 "antisemitism remains a non-negligible community building force (in Poland) and one of the most powerful political tools behind the collapse of liberal democratic institutions." The only party which does not distance itself from antisemitism is Konfederacja (about 5%). Konfederacja is now rather anti-Ukrainian than antisemitic.Some of its leader are serious, Grzegorz Braun and JKM are clowns. In Poland a much better way to earn money is fighting alleged fascism. One is able to become a PhD or Professor, one obtains grants, visits NYC like Janicka. Who would invite a Polish nationalist?
ReplyDeleteA book by Janicka https://www.academicstudiespress.com/cherry-orchard-books/9781644698396 Helena Datner "how an antisemitic authoritarianism is possible today in the former land of Eastern European Jewry." Janicka studies "violence and exclusion embedded in Polish dominant culture". Does anyone know a completely non-violent and inclusive cuture? https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32929855 Isn't it Utopia? USA society is more violent than European ones. Janicka preaches in NYC https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/26/nyregion/antisemitic-attacks-new-york.html
