Yep, I’m with you. I certainly didn’t have to go through what they did during WW2, so I don’t run around screaming that they’re a bunch of killers. On the other hand, they’re not quite as ‘pure as the wind-driven snow’ back in that timeframe either.
Too often people make mass condemnations of people who were citizens of an oppressive government which committed atrocities.
The Polish people were denied their own government from the endo f the 18th century until just after WW1. Then when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, they were demolished and surrendered. The German Nazi army occupied Poland until 1945 - until the Russian army invaded from the east. Thereafter Poland was under the oppressive rule of the Communist government until 1989.
So, if some Polish people committed serious crimes against Jews after WWII, it does not condemn all of the Polish people. The fact is, there were also some Polish men who joined the Communist Polish army and mistreated their own citizens. The poor Polish people were not able to overthrow the Iron Curtain until several key people appeared in history: Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walensa, and …... Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko. I will bet that hardly anyone has ever heard of this heroic Polish priest.
You should look him up on Google, and never forget his name.
