Jewish Communist From Poland Defects(?) to the USA. Jewish Complicity in the Soviet Betrayal of the Poles’ 1944 Warsaw Uprising

JOZEF SWIATLO SPEAKS is the title of this Polish-language work. It features Jozef Swiatlo (Izaak Fleischfarb, or Lichstein: p. 320), a high-ranking Jewish officer in the hated Communist security forces (U. B., or Bezpieka) of Soviet-ruled Poland. Swiatlo’s motives for defecting to the West, in December 1953, are unclear. (p. 14-on). He left behind a wife and two children in Poland (p. 13), and had a sister who eventually moved to Israel. (p. 10).

A SELFISH OPPORTUNIST?

Swiatlo was no recently-enlightened anti-Communist. He professed to favor a “national” Communism (p. 14), perhaps even to the extent exemplified by Tito. He may have sensed that he was in danger (p. 14), possibly related to the winds of change in the wake of Stalin’s death several months earlier.

[Some have suggested that Swiatlo was an opportunist with ephemeral loyalties. Having made his mark under Communism, he left his victims behind, and now set out to make his mark in the West. Many other Communist Jews later left for the west, notably in 1968. They rebranded themselves victims of Communism and (what else? Polish anti-Semitism.]

In any case, Communism commonly split Jewish families in other contexts. For instance, super-Communist Jakub Berman’s brother Adolf, an active Zionist, moved to Israel, while some other close relatives of Jakub were successful in the USA. (p. 39).

THE SHAM 1947 ELECTIONS

In Poland, the Communists “legally” came to power through elections, notably in 1947. Not only were the elections falsified, but Swiatlo implicated himself as a participant in the falsification process. (pp. 194-on).

NO REPENTANCE FOR COMMUNIST CRIMES

Incredibly, Swiatlo denied torturing or killing anyone (p. 8). So what were the Communist security forces for–picking flowers? Swiatlo showed no remorse for his services in the dreaded Bezpieka. (p. 10). He asserts that 40% of those arrested and tortured by the Bezpieka withstood the tortures, and did not “confess” to their accused crimes. (p. 221, 223).

SHAM EGALITARIANISM: THE EARLY NOMENKLATURA

For all of its sham promises of egalitarianism and identification with the working class, Communism created a privileged as well as totalitarian ruling class. Swiatlo focused on the “more equal” status of Communist leaders. For instance, U. B. leader Radkiewicz received a very high wage, free apartment, four cars, etc. (p. 92). Bierut enjoyed such things as a luxurious villa with 300 servants, and his own tailor, barber, etc. (p. 95). Earlier, while in Moscow, Swiatlo had met with leading Communist Adolf Warski [Jerzy Adolf Warszawski] for a large banquet. The former professed feeling discomfited by the fact that Russian workers went hungry while they were feasting. (p. 100).

COLLABORATION OF COMMUNISTS AND NAZIS AGAINST POLES

It hardly news that the Communist forces sought to destroy the non-Communist Underground, notably the A. K. (ARMIA KRAJOWA), but also the BCh (BATALIONY CHLOPSKIE). (p. 116). What may surprise the reader is the extent to which the Soviets collaborated with the German Gestapo in this regard. (pp. 103-on, 117, 125-on, 138-139, 207 etc.). Interestingly, at one time it backfired. The Communist GL-AL tipped off the Gestapo about the location of an A. K. printing press, but, owing to a mistake, a nearby GL-AL press was liquidated instead. (p. 107).

COMMUNISTS ALSO MURDERED JEWS: SELECTIVE INDIGNATION

Accusations of the AK (A. K.) and NSZ (N. S. Z.) gratuitously killing fugitive Jews have long been a staple of Communist propaganda and of Holocaust-related writings. The Communist GL-AL professed to welcome Jews and to be an aggressive foe of anti-Semitism. Interestingly, Swiatlo testifies to the fact that the GL-AL murdered Jewish partisans, and did this on a “massive scale”. (p. 102, 120-122). This fact has subsequently been confirmed by archival information. See the Peczkis review of: Tajne oblicze GL-AL i PPR: Dokumenty (Polish Edition). [The existence of pogroms is one of the exculpations for the Zydokomuna. But Jews had no problems supporting Communism despite its share of pogroms!]

JEWISH COMPLICITY IN THE SOVIET BETRAYAL OF THE POLES’ 1944 WARSAW UPRISING

Throughout this book, Swiatlo focuses on Communist personages, and provides interesting perspectives on various events. He gives his take on both Gestapo and Soviet involvement in the MIECZ i PLUG organization. (p. 108-on). It turns out that the removal of General Zygmunt Berling from his post, for coming to the aid of the Soviet-betrayed Warsaw Uprising, was carried out by Roman Zambrowski [Rubin Nussbaum]. (p. 49).

THEN THE COMMUNISTS, NOW THE LEWACTWO: THE WAR AGAINST POLAND’S CATHOLIC CHURCH

We learn that the arrest of Cardinal Wyszynski was a direct order of Moscow. (p. 25; see also p. 75, 185-189). However, the Communists realized that the Catholic Church was too influential in Poland to destroy primarily by direct, frontal attacks. Hence, they sought to undermine it from within. Swiatlo testifies (p. 120) that the Communists had sentenced Boleslaw Piasecki to death, and that he had to cooperate in his front activities in exchange for saving his life. The Communists also cultivated so-called progressive Catholics for their own ends (p. 174), or, failing that, at least for weakening the Church by sowing division within it. (p. 182). [The informed reader realizes that the post-Communists and LEWAKS are using the same tactics today in cultivating “progressive Catholics” (KATOLEWICA) for use as a tool against patriotic Catholics (e. g., RADIO MARYJA), and as a means of dividing the Church from within.]
