Polish-Jewish Relations: 1,300 Keyword-Phrase-Indexed Book Reviews (by Jan Peczkis)

Breaking the Frame: New School of Polish-Jewish Studies, edited by Irena Grudzinska Gross and Konrad Matyjaszek. 2022. Peter Lang, Berlin

The Exclusive Polin Museum Addressed. Rest is Judeocentric Polonophobic Bilge

This is yet another Holocaust-related anti-Polish book. They’re a dime a dozen. And, once again (surprise), it is printed by a German publisher (Peter Lang). The title itself is ironic: How about “breaking the frame” of the standard mendacious Jewish narratives on Poland? How about “breaking the frame” of the silence about Jewish crimes done to Poland? That would be the day.

Let us first focus on the only two positive issues in this book:

EXCLUSIVE POLIN MUSEUM: WHY SUPPORT THE JEWISH ATTACKERS?

Anna Zawadzka quotes Jerzy Sabala regarding the exclusive Polin Museum, “It is disgraceful for our government to build Jewish museums and mausoleums for the taxpayers’ money. They build them for a nation that spits at our nation and insults it with defamation and falsified history. How is it possible that Jews virtually control and manage museums in Poland, which function as some Israeli enclave within our country’s territory?” (p. 196).

Amen, brother! Speak the truth to power. The exclusive Polin Museum should never have opened.

JEWISH SEPARATISM AS A WARNING FOR POLAND NOT TO ACCEPT IMMIGRANTS

Zawadzka also quotes Bruno Siemeniuk, “Europe takes on immigrants from everywhere and tells us that these immigrants will integrate with Europe…[L]et’s look at an example of how the Jews integrated with the Poles and Polish society over a few centuries. A Polish Jew doesn’t understand, after hundreds of years of ‘integration’, that his homeland is here, in Poland and with Poles. What they, however, do understand is that their homeland is here and that it is also inhabited by non-Jews. The guest has become the host.” (p. 196).

That’s for sure. The exclusive Polin Museum, and other Jewish museums that opened at the expense of Polish museums, are just one example.

BEYOND THE EXCLUSIVE POLIN MUSEUM. MORE FALSEHOODS FROM JAN GRABOWSKI VEL ABRAHAMER

Grabowski repeats his earlier lie about 200,000 fugitive Jews presumably killed by Poles, but only does it better by expanding the fantastic number to 300,000. (p. 37). As always, he still presents not a shred of evidence to support his horror-propaganda figures.

BLAMING POLAND FOR THE HOLOCAUST: A 50 YEAR-OLD JEWISH GAME

Konrad Matyaszek repeats LGBT and feminist propaganda against Poland (p. 263), and it goes downhill from there. In discussing the controversy, over whom to include and whom to exclude from the soon-to-be USHMM nearly 50 years ago, he mentions non-historian Lucy Dawidowicz and her “authoritative” statement that “Poles in general were collaborators in the Holocaust”. (p. 253). “Poles in general”, huh? That is about as brilliant as saying “Jews in general were collaborators in the Holocaust”.  This kind of idiocy passes for Holocaust scholarship. Now this kind of Jewish tripe lives on in the likes of Jan Grabowski and Barbara Engelking. Still, the dumb Poles have opened the exclusive Polin Museum.
