from the documentary made by Jews that I watched about Poland, the Jewish narrator says the Jews didn’t sign up for the Polish military to fight for Poland. I wonder if that led to some resentment. Didn’t Poland have the largest Jewish community of any other nation? Also, when the Nazis would spare a group of Poles for giving up a few Jews, well…most people, regardless of background, will choose to save their own hide. Some people would sell out their own kids or parents to save their own hides. My understanding is that their were even some Jews willing to turn in other Jews in order to stay alive (because they are average humans and not saints). If Nazis would’ve asked for Gypsies or mentally ill people, those, too, would’ve been ‘sacrificed’ so that the group wouldn’t face machine gun fire. As far as communists are concerned, between 2 and 10 million people in Russia starved to death between 1919 and 1922 and communism was a large part of that. If I was a Pole and heard about that, I might give up a few communists, too. Idealism is NOT reality. All life forms evolved in a certain way and no form of ideology can completely erase nature inherent in each us: nature favors smarts, health, vigor, and competition, strength. Getting along and persuasion have their places, as well, but to a lesser degree. Call me ugly, stupid, removed, a dyke, stinky, a slut, you name it…I regard being called a communist one of the worst things. I feel little pity for them. We are not all ‘equal’ and can never be, because value isn’t the same for every person.
