You see, I didnt want to bring it up as I promissed to MIchael let the word out. But now since his father spoke out I cant be silent anymore. We see evidently that Michael’s roots are from Poland (btw it is Czernowiec)which makes him sort of a bit lansman of mine. But only sort of because he constatntly tries to battle that part of his neshama and never stands up to defend our homeboys!
And I m not even gonna mention … whatever.

Michael’s grandmother was saved from the Nazis by a man whose father was Ukrainian and mother was Polish. This man also smuggled food to the Jews in the ghetto of Chernovtsy.

A read a book some time ago that set out a number of stories of Christians who had saved Jews during the holocaust. One that stood out beyond all others was the story of Leokadia Jaromirska. What she went through to save a little girl over 4 years was beyond belief – every time that you thought the story couldn’t get worse, it did. Then, at the end of the war, the child was fortunate to be reunited with her father, but this meant leaving Jaromirska, who had no other children and nothing left of her life. It was the most gut-wrenching story I have ever read.

I wish I knew which family smuggled my grandmother out of Bilgoraj. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be typing this right now.

oh no! there are actually some polish people that are righteous??? But what we gonna do now? Isn't it convenient to have one nation that we can blame in its entirety? OK this one is just an exception... ooops there is another one (www.irenasendler.org)! oh! this one saved more Jews then Schindler? Just another exception... oops another few? eeh! This not a problem for guys like the march of the Living. We need to have some guys there are all bad, right? Worse then Germans, right? Believe me I am the I am the last one to say that Poles are walking saints but anybody who says that there is one (or more) nation under the sun that is all bad is fooling him/herself and oversimplifying for the sake of a particular agenda.
