The Poles have had a difficult history; sometimes it’s better to forgive. My mother (100% first generation American) said to me after I had first read about Nazi atrocities against Poland (this was in the ‘70s): “you know, that was a long time ago and most of the people who did that are dead. Germans today had nothing to do with it, no point blaming them for it.” That’s a healthy way to deal with history, I think. Otherwise, hatred continues unchecked.

I speak German (ein bisschen); I read it much better than I speak it.

The Poles did get Breslau (Worclaw) and Danzig (Gdansk) among other cities after the borders lurched westward. And then they suffered another 45years under the USSR’s heel.

I agree to a point. Germans have not made good their reparations to the millions of innocents they killed. They continue their secular methods in dealing with Christians forcing some to emigrate. They are overly sentimental and defensive about their identity and recent films show that. They bombed Christian people in Serbia during Easter season a few years back in the name of domination.

F ‘em.

They have not learned a damn thing IMO.
