Judeopolonia Advocated By Jews Themselves Wysocki

Zydzi w Dziejach Polski, by Stanislaw Wysocki. 1995

Candor on Jewish Disloyalty to Poland. The Possibility of Judeopolonia Was Very Real: Some Jews Openly Advocated a Judeopolonia

JEWS IN THE DEALINGS OF POLAND is the title of this Polish language book. It starts with the beginnings of the Jewish religion (JEPD hypothesis) and ends with the Solidarity Movement. This book cites a large number of obscure sources. This means that the author brings to light a good deal of information that would otherwise be generally unknown. Although Wysocki is often critical of Jews, he is even-handed in blaming both Polish and Jewish nationalists for the negative aspects of pre-WWII Polish-Jewish relations. (p. 116).

JEWS GENERALLY ABANDON POLAND IN FAVOR OF THE FOREIGN POWERS RULING OVER HER

During the period after the Partitions when Poland languished under foreign rule, some Jews declared their support for Poland. (e. g., p. 69). Many others, however, threw their support towards the partitioning powers. For example, Rabbi Bloch, a member of the Austrian Parliament, spoke in 1890 of how well Jews had been treated in Poland–before declaring his unswerving support for German-ness. Jaffe, a prominent Poznan-area Jew, made a similar statement in 1901. (p. 88). Nor were these atypical in any way. Poznan-area Jews came out and declared their open support for the Prussians. (p. 69). Warsaw Jew David Fajnjaus, a member of Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute, concluded that a large fraction of the local Jewish bourgeoisie was pro-Russian, and that many of these actively support the tsarist authorities in their actions against Poles. (p. 73).

THE JANUARY 1863 INSURRECTION: WAS POLISH PATRIOT ROMUALD TRAUGUTT DENOUNCED TO THE RUSSIANS BY A JEWISH SZMALCOWNIK?

Romuald Traugutt, the leader of the Poles’ January 1863 Insurrection, had reportedly been betrayed to the tsarist Russian authorities by a Jew, Arthur Goldman. (p. 72).

THE POTENTIAL OF A VERY REAL JUDEOPOLONIA: ADVOCATED BY JEWS THEMSELVES

Judeopolonia had not been some sort of anti-Semitic bogeyman. Far from it. The concept went back to at least the time of Jacob Frank. An 1898 Jewish publication candidly advocated that Jews literally rule over Poles. Jewish personages, among them Rabbi Yitzhak Goldberg, in 1905, advocated that a type of geographically-separate Judeopolonia be carved out of Polish territory in the form of a separate Jewish province. Karol Kautski, a Jewish economist, favored a German-ruled Judeopolonia (Poles and Jews under Jewish rule), ultimately under the rule of the kaiser, in place of a resurrected independent Polish state. Jewish author Julian Unszlicht described the 1905 Revolution, in which members of the Jewish political party Bund denounced Polishness and Christianity, and called for a Judeopolonia in which Jews would have hegemony over Poles. (pp. 88-90).

THE SO-CALLED MINORITIES TREATY: EXPANSIVE SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR JEWS

Wysocki elaborates on the Jewish push, in the events leading up to and including the Minorities Treaty, to force the new Polish government to be required to conduct public dealings in Yiddish and Hebrew in addition to Polish. This was a backdoor attempt to establish a de facto Judeopolonia. Since few non-Jewish Poles spoke Hebrew or Yiddish, the mandatory use of these languages in public affairs would have created a literal Jewish ruling class over Poles and Poland.(p. 89).

THE 1918 LWOW POGROM IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE

The 1918 Lwow (Lviv) pogrom is described as follows. Poles were fighting with Ukrainian separatists. Jews, as described by quoted Ukrainian publications, sided with the Ukrainians. Jews threw rocks and boiling water, and directed occasional sniper fire, at the Polish combatants. During the transitional period between Ukrainian defeat and Polish control of Lwow, anarchy reigned. It was during this time that there were robberies and murders, commonly perpetrated by common criminals and deserters from the Austrian Army. During this episode, Polish authorities shot some 15 bandits. (p. 94).

JEWISH DISLOYALTY TO POLAND IN THE 1920 BOLSHEVIK WAR

Now consider the 1920 Polish-Soviet War. Wysocki quotes Polish General Szeptycki in frequently reporting on individual Jews, and in at least one case an entire Jewish battalion, deserting the Polish Army and joining the Red Army. (p. 109). Wysocki cites a detailed source which touches on the Polish forces fighting border wars with Germany. Here Jews accounted for 193 of 202 deserters, 398 of 411 draft dodgers, etc. (p. 110).

JEWS COMMONLY BLAME POLAND WHILE DOING HER WRONG

The remainder of the book, dealing with Poles and Jews before and during WWII, and the post-WWII aftermath, generally presents familiar information. However, there is also some seldom-told information. The author provides a very comprehensive account of post-WWII Jewish attacks on Poland (p. 179-on), many of which were made in Israel and other locations, and which therefore are unlikely to have been known to readers living outside these locations. Wysocki also presents a detailed listing, and analysis, of Jews in the post-WWII Soviet Communist puppet government ruling Poland after WWII. (p. 189-on).
