Have Poles blood on their hands? :)

Poles like to think that they fight against the Germans but some poles enjoy doing barbecues.

I guess we all have if we look at specific persons and specific times in history. But it's a matter of definition, nothing else.

"The Jews own the buildings, and we own the streets."
HAHAHA! The guy obviosly doesn't know where this saying came from! When Poland was partitioned, in the Prussian Patrition Poles were not allowed to own houses. Their property was confiscated and sold to Prussians - and Jews! They were sometimes allowed to stay in the house, but they had to pay a rent to the new owner, quite often a Jew, which naturally made them pissed. And that's how the saying was made. The man has the right to feel wronged but it's increadibly funny that he would use THAT particular saying. And while we're at it my family's property was taken by communists as well and we're Polish. So it has nothing to do with antisemitism, it's simply bad luck.

Edit - I reread what i wrote and a certain realization struck me - what happened to the confiscated property of Poles after Poalnd regained independance? Were Jews dispossessed and the property went back to the rightful owners? Just how many of those Jewish houses 'stolen' by Poles were stolen FROM the Poles just 20 years earlier?

According to the blog 'Poles loaded Jews onto 'gas trucks'...I thought it was 'gas ovens'...Which is it?...Maybe Poles never loaded anybody onto anything...

Any links?

That's nonsense.

Ever heard of 'rugi pruskie'? We learn about it in schools. It started as a mass deportation and confiscation of properties of hundreds of thousands Poles (and to a lesser extent Jews with non-prussian citizenship) however with time any Pole could be dispossessed at any moment.

And of course every Pole heard about Drzymała's Van - a man called Drzymała whose property was taken away cheated the Prussian law by living in a van.

Well..why that doesn't surprise me....

Still..any links to support your teaching?

So it's 'gas vans'...Must have been a lot of these to have killed 6000000 Jews...Or is it 3000000?...Or what was the number?...Any Poles go into those vans or just Khazars?...Actually, the first 'gas van' was invented by a Bolshevik Jew who worked for the GPU...He took a 1930s era Ford truck, had the truck compartment sealed airtight, and then had a feed of the exhaust hose into the back, using the carbon monoxide to kill Russians and Ukrainians...Don't beleive me?...Do some research; look it up....I posted the whole story here long ago.

You're talking about the Prussian settlement commision. Straight from the source you provided:

"The Commission was empowered to purchase vacant property..."

You see the words "purchase" and "vacant"?

That Poles were not allowed to own property is not true, Vetala.

TheOther
Please pay attention to the part which says - found that the Colonization Commission's rules forbade him as a Pole to build a permanent dwelling on his land

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_deportations

From your link:


My...how brutal!

No, it was not brutal and therefore perfectly ok. Poles should have all lived in vans, that's their proper place.

You said "When Poland was partitioned, in the Prussian Patrition Poles were not allowed to own houses". This is simply not true. You generalize.

Well...I'm sure some Prussians lived also in Van's (maybe not for so long though).

And no...most Poles led a perfectly normal life and when they agreed to the laws could buy land and houses like everybody else.


There existed surely worse things than that...

God, Theother, I would have thought you were smarter than Bratwurst 'What do Poles need houses for, anyway?' Boy. It was not just that one guy. ALL Poles were only allowed to own the land, NOT the houses. Don't you think it's unfair?

BB - obviously the policy was not the same for the 123 years of partions, BUT by this time thousands of houses were taken away and never given back.

From your other link vetala :


Russians to Russia and Austrians to Austria...what's wrong with that?

But it wasn't very smart either:


PS: I still can't find any hint that Poles couldn't own their own houses...

It's not about citizenship, it's about the houses, the f*cking houses, I'm talking about all the time. Property!

vetala

Don't be childish.

Give me a link that clearly shows that Poles were not allowed to own the houses they were living in.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanisation_of_Poles_during_Partitions#1871_until_the_Treaty_of_Versailles

This was further strengthened by the ban on building of houses by non-Germans

and

Nevertheless, the Settlement Commission was empowered with new more powerful rights, which entitled it to force Poles to sell the land since 1908.

Hmm....why did you omit the rest of the sentence?


Well..and as we have already seen during examining the example of D's van this was not true.

This whole statement is misleading and could need a correctur.

So you think it was just one guy? And all other Poles had absolutely no trouble? Why was HE bothered by the court then?

Hmmm....you mean this "Settlement Commission"?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Settlement_Commission


Well....not smart but surely there was worse...


Well...reading your first post one could think Poles had been without any rights at all...no houses, chucked out just like that, no courts for them etc....

I murder Jews daily, got my private gas chamber, in go the Jews, then i stick my ass through the window, fart and listen to the screams.


Prussians werent brutal towards Poles, well not Nazi brutal anyway but still you tried to take away our lands and culture and you wonder why arent we happy little germanizer bunny.

BB have you read the whole section on achievements? It's not about whether 'there was worse' because obviously there was - during WWII. It's not about Prussians and their policy toward Poles it's about the fact that it was a policy toward Poles, not Poles and Jews, hence my statement in the beginning.

Well....some have surely tried stuff...but law prevented the worst.
No, Poles slugging it out with the prussian gov in a court is not brutal, don't give me the ****.

216 polish estates sold, Poles could and did buy land, they could live and work in Prussia...brutal my a'ss!


My...must life have been horrible for Poles in Prussia...

I surely don't say everything was perfect or comparable with today.
But Prussia was not some black dictatorship and people COULD slug it out at a court instead of just being killed or kidnapped into a labor camp...they HAD rights!

Well, perhaps I should have worded it differently, but my first post was not about Prussians, it was about the origins of the saying about Jews and Poles. I forgot that I'm speaking on PolishForums where even mentioning a nationality starts a flamewar.

*phew* Now I feel better! :)
