[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Straight up here. Not joking.  I am very ignorant in this area. I was educated in the south, didn't know a Jewish person until I was 40 years old (now over 50) I thought Jews were conidered white. I had no reason to think otherwise. I mean of course I knew the horror of the holocaust, but I always thought it was PRIMARILY about religion and Hitler's goal to create a master race.[/quote]

Jews who converted to Christianity were still murdered. It was not about religion. [/quote]
Many were actually saved — by Polish Catholics, while risking their own lives.[/quote]

This is true. But the opposite is also true. Polish Catholics as a group have a very mixed legacy of behavior toward Jews during (as well as before) the Holocaust. Both extremes were very well represented. People, individually and in groups, are complicated. It isn't something the present Polish government can handle, this complicated legacy, and I wonder if your repeated posts here suggest you are part of their ongoing sanitizing effort.

Either way, this is not so relevant to this thread.

Unless you mean to point out that Polish Catholics have never understood their Jewish neighbors as Poles, "white people" or no. That's kind of relevant.[/quote]
