Book Reviews of Jews in Poland: A Documentary History
Book Review: JAN PECZKIS comment above
Summary: 5 Stars
excellent book! What Jan Peczkis goes to great detail to deny is really a sad joke because we have WITNESS TESTIMONIES from the pogrom. IN FACT, it was not confined to Kielce! Poles rioted all over Poland, including Lodz where they tried to murder my grandfather in the melee. This was sadly not the first instance if a blood libel that resulted in a pogrom. Jews lived in fear of their lives in Poland BEFORE WORLD WAR TWO. During the war, more Poles informed on Jews to the Germans and Polish police who turned them over to the Germans, than instances of the rightteous who indeed saved thousands of Jews...usually when it involvd converting an adorable Jewish baby to Christianity. I can talk to PECZKIS about it til he will be as red as borscht in the face. In fact, if you want a perfect example of Polish anti-Semitism, go and try to get back ANY PERSONAL POSSESSIONS that a person you know has that belong to your family in Poland. You have a greater chance of getting struck by lighting (literally) than getting it back for ANY PRICE! That IS anti-Semitism. Believe me, my life would be made a lot easier, if this was not the case. Sadly, it is. My hope is that more Poles will come forward to be kinder to Jews who want to reclaim their heritage.
