Quoting: Eurola
Bratwurst Boy, was your grandpa or your parents a part to this? You should be ashamed to admit you are "this kind of German". It's not your fault that you are German, but your way of thinking is pretty sad and not worthy of a German national.
I have a good German friend. She is ashamed of Germany's past.
A Pole tells me I should be ashamed of my countries past???
A POLE???Girl, come out into the real world....)
(Ever heard of Jedwabne or Kielce? Killing after the war returning Jews of fear of having to give back stolen belongings....it doesn't get much more shameful than that!
Are you "this kind" of Pole???
Read the books "Neighbours" or "Fear" from Jan Tomasz Gross to be ashamed of YOUR countries past)
"....Gross builds a meticulous case. He argues that this postwar persecution is "a smoking gun," which proves that during the war Poles not only acquiesced but, in many cases, actively assisted the Nazis in their persecution of the Jews. Had they been appalled by Germany's policies toward the Jews or tried to help the victims, Poles could never have engaged in such virulent anti-Semitism in the postwar period. Gross notes that when the Germans were trying to put down the Warsaw ghetto uprising, Poles-including children-not only cheered as Jewish snipers were spotted and killed but gleefully showed the Germans where Jews were hiding...."Clean up your own backyard first please before you tell anybody else to be ashamed.
In my family all the men fighted, some died some survived and I'm damned proud of them!
They fighted as soldiers against other soldiers....to busy with the Red Army in Russia or the western allies in Normandy than to burn Jews alive like Poles did.
PS: Apropos Jedwabne....guess who got blamed for it?
"...A stone monument blaming Nazi and Gestapo soldiers for around 1,600 deaths in the area has already been removed."Typically Poles...
