From Kristallnacht in November 1938 to the collapse of the Nazi Regime in May 1945, they relied heavily on each other and their instincts to discover ways to survive while in the ghettos, labor camps, and partisan units, if they managed to escape and head for the forests.

  • Jewish Attitudes Toward Poles: the Black Legend and the Search for Haman1
    REVISED AUGUST 2020 Traditional Jewish Attitudes Toward Poles: The Black Legend and the Search for Haman1 by Mark Paul “...a Jew from Poland is not and never was simply Polish. … it was clear to Jews and Poles alike that they were two very different peoples who happened to share the same piece of territory. They could be neighbors and business partners, but they were seldom friends and almost never relatives or social or legal equals.” 2 Adam Kirsch, American poet and critic The ethno-nationalist spin for this state of affairs: “It’s all the Poles’ fault!” “Their animus, which carries Polish nationalism into such an aggressively xenophobic articulation, springs primarily from a deep pool of ethnic-cum- religious hatred, which is indigenous to Poland and has historically been aimed at Jews.”3 Jan T. Gross, American sociologist “…the sort of primitive anti-Polish sentiments that too often characterize those whom I shall call ‘professional Jews’.”4 French-Jewish historian Pierre Vidal-Naquet “…it is possible for Jewish people to be racist, just as it is possible for people of other faiths to be.” 5 John Bercow, former Speaker of U.K. House of Commons Herschel Greenbaum tells Ben that he, Ben, may be may be “stupider than a Polish person and they are THE stupidest.” Herschel later refers to Mary, Jesus’ mother, as a prostitute who made up the story of the immaculate conception to cover for her whoring. “An American Pickle,” a 2020 American film directed by Brandon Trost and written by Simon Rich, based on his 2013 short story “Sell Out.” The dialogue about Poles was reported in a matter-of-fact manner by Tablet Magazine (August 10, 2020)—clearly they have a resonance even among Jewish intellectuals 1 The Biblical arch-villain.

  • Solving 9-11: the Deception That Changed the World
    Bollyn.com Solving 9-11: The Deception That Changed The World Christopher Bollyn Bollyn.com Foreword by Glen Stanish Truth Marches On By Glen Stanish September 11, 2001, much like December 7, 1941, is a day that will live in infamy. The post 9- 11 period is one of the saddest times in American history. It has, however, provided the American people a slow and painful awakening of sorts. As an airline pilot for American Airlines, the attacks of 9-11 hit very close to home. I was in the middle of a four-day trip on a layover in downtown Fort Worth on 9-11. Like many Americans that day, I woke up to the news of the devastating attacks. And, like most Americans, for a brief period after the attacks I was in a state of shock and awe. Very shortly after the attacks we were informed by our elected leaders and the media that we had been attacked by Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida because they didn‘t like our freedoms. Simple enough, but lacking a plausible political motive. For those who think a bit further than what we‘re told and deeper about the causes of war - greed in a word - this explanation was hard to accept. It was as if President George W. Bush had given us a square peg, and no matter how hard we tried, we could not make it fit into the proverbial round hole. I suspect that the author of this book, Christopher Bollyn, may have experienced this same thought process.
