Typical! Spain with its Toledo, Prague with its Jewish quarter

You have a lot of courage to go to a French mosque. Sounds pretty scary.

Yes in regards to my mother and her cousin it was "destiny." My grandfather who was Viennese only became a Zionist in 1938 when he saw how the Austrians behaved.

I was in Vienna in May one evening in a restaurant ( in uniform) and the waiter ask me to accept a couple with a children on my table ,(I was alone) they didn't new I'm fluent in German ....
So they began to talk ....after a while I introduced myself in the conversation ,and they escaped away.....:: it was a very nice moment...

I would like to add something.At first I would like to say that I am pole and I am not as majority of you surely consider - antisemtic.<<

Maxio thanks for posting. The Polish kings invited the Jews to Poland about 1,000 years ago. So let's be fair. That's why so many lived in Poland.

However it is true that Poland in the 1930's was very antisemitic. They were thinking of expelling the Jews.

However I don't think it's fair for us to attack the whole new generation. After all it was the Germans and Austrians who slaughtered us; not the Poles.

I agree!! Jews could even become Szlachta or Rycerz(nobility) and enjoyed life on an equal footing in most instances because Poles were some of the most progressive thinkers in Europe from 1264 on!!

Poland was also one of the first countries to side with the USA against Islamic Terror!!This is a mirror of their courage as Europe's first line of defense against the Turks when their Hussars fought and died while most of Europe slept.They have paid the price to halt the expansion of Islam into Europe and have more often been friends to Jews than not and definately don't deserve to be lumped in with a bunch of athiest,humanist Europeans with secret anti-semitic agendas.

Every year, each school in Israel sends an expedition to Poland, to visit the death camps and Jewish sites. They never have any problems with the locals. I know some poles from other forums and they are all intelligent and friendly people. Boycotting Poland is stupid I must say.

Poland is a one huge Jewish graveyard though.. it’s creepy. Much of the Jewish culture died in Poland along with much of our potential.

Scr*** Poland. Those idiots have a law against Holocaust Denial but no JEWS!!!! Funny stuff.

I lived in the student flats at Inna Boudier Bakkerlan in Utrecht and they were built on top of the garbage pit where thousands of Jews bodies were tossed.

I lived there for 2 months before I found out about it and I had the super creeps from the day I got there and then I learned why

I can imagine..

hmm on a side note: I was born in Minsk as well and I visited the city a couple of years ago. The city is sprayed all over with swastikas. I am saying this just to give some proportion to those people with negative feelings about Poland.
