Jewish Roots of Poland

Big deal!!!!!

On contrary, you constantly say it, imply it, perhaps not in those exact terms but still.

Many Left-wing Jewish Americans in the past have slandered Polish people here in the US in the mass media and they get away with it. Can you imagine what would happen if it was the other way around?

MediaWatch....go on, just admit it - you hate Jews and that's that.

It would certainly be much easier to discuss things with you, knowing that you're a bedroom brownshirt and all that. It would also explain your apparent deep knowledge of Russian affairs, because the worst neo-Nazis are to be found in Russia, after all.

Those of us who live in Poland have no need to imagine that: it is called Radio Maryja. Have you heard of it?

What's a crested man?

Well my DNA test seems to be pointing me in the middle eastern/Jewish region of the world, so I'm sure that I have some paternal Jewish ancestor somewhere back there.

I read Polish newspapers regularly, but I still can't write properly.

"wpierdol cie morska swinia, i jak cie wpierdoli, ziadaj mowe gowne, ti brudne gomoseksualni"

and gave me the middle name Beniamin, which is also a Jewish name.

a model for democracy for over a 1,000 years.

There was a topic some times back telling the same about Germany....

According to some people 90 percent of Europe MUST be some kind of jewish....really astounding if you look at such a tiny people repeatedly kicked out and harassed over the centuries.

And totally crap too, especially as most Jews prefered to keep "pure" to keep their religion and heritage alive and lived mostly voluntarily in their sthetls/ghettoes most of the time anyhow!

After all a Jew is only a Jew if his mother is jewish, right? And I doubt there were many christian women ready to convert to Judaism before...at least not in such huge piles as it would had been necessary.

it rather not possible. most of polish jews lived separately in their towns - "sztetl". they didn't know polish history, and they didn't speak polish, except very few necessary words. they lived inside their world - there was very few mixed marriages. that's it.

A few things, you sick Anti-Semitic vermin.

why is this then not better documented?

Why not others, such as Socha and Pope Jan Paweł himself?

A tragic irony, is it not?

Gross' books is that he writes only about negative aspects of Polish-Jewish relationships and Poles afraid that people abroad will have one-sided, very negative view on Poles.

Great! One example. Why not others,

Great! One example. Why not others, such as Socha and Pope Jan Paweł himself? Jedwabne and Kielce continue to resonate in our ears, whereas Denmark's Gilelej and the Jutland coast where Kaj Munk and armed as well as unarmed resistance bravely stood up to the German war machine! A tragic irony, is it not?

As it stands, the Danes (the Swedes too, for that matter!), the Bulgarians and the Albanians have gone down in history as friendly to the Jews in their direst hour of need,

Jedwabne and Kielce continue to resonate in our ears,

As many of you know, Poland used to have the largest Jewish population in the world. Poland was pretty much the "Israel" of the middle ages. Many Jewish concepts were developed in Poland such as the Hasidic movement. My question is, how likely is it that the average Pole has had at least one Jewish ancestor? Have there been any significant genealogical studies on this?

how about Bielski Brothers killed 128 Poles in the village of Naliboki during WWII.
