some Poles have made it incredibly big in Germany, e.g. Marcel Reich-Ranicki

Do you have the temerity to suggest that Reich-Ranicki's not a Pole, merely because he also happens to be Jewish??

@B.B. "Ruefully" means lit. "Mit Reue", d.h. "reuenvoll", suggesting that, being voted "deutsche Literaturpapst" or not, this still doesn't mean he's liked by non-Jewish Germans, merely respected. There's a big difference-:) Our former late president Nixon obviously respected the experience and learning of Harvard prof. Dr. Henry Kissinger, yet there's certainly no reason to infer, based on the former's own diaries etc. that he liked Kissinger. He merely tolerated him professionally, that's all.

Well....for Germans that means even more. You can like whom you want for a plethora of reasons, but hard earned respect is something else.

What is your problem? Why should we like people? Just because they are Poles? ;)
If you could choose, what would you take? Superficial sympathy and a clap on the back or respect and admiration?
