Jews 1968 DEFINITIVE WORK Zebrowski

O Najnowszej Historii Polski 1939-1989, by Leszek Zebrowski. 2018

At Last: The Truth About March 1968. The Accused Killing of Jews By NSZ, and During the Warsaw Uprising (1944), is Debunked

ON THE NEWEST HISTORY OF POLAND 1939-1989, is the title of this Polish-language work. Author and historian Leszek Zebrowski points out that the end of Communism in Poland in 1989 did not mean the end of censorship. Much of the apparatus is still intact in academia, which is dominated by political correctness. (pp. 7-8). His book attempts to survey some of the hushed-up history of Poland.

This book presents many seldom-told but needed facts. In evaluating this book, the reader should remember that it is the goal of cultural Marxism to discredit the histories of Poland and other western nations. Witness, for example, the endlessly-repeated derision against Poland’s so-termed ” heroic narrative” that has found its way into so many publications.

THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MUCH-FABLED ” EVENTS OF 1968″

This anniversary has–surprise–led to another round of media accusations of (what else?) Polish anti-Semitism.

To begin with, the 1968 era had been a time when different factions of Communism had been settling scores with each other. Many more Poles (in fact, a million) were subject to repression than Jews, but the Poles, unlike the Jews, were not allowed to emigrate. (p. 199, 210). Nobody in the international community shed a tear for these Poles.

The Jews who left Poland were painted as poor persecuted Jewish victims, and, better yet, as heroic anti-Communist pioneers of justice and democracy. They were nothing of the sort. They were, in historical context, part of the international leftist ” student rebellion” of 1968, which had featured Soviet-unwelcome forms of the LEWACTWO, such as Trotskyites, Maoists, and the Baader-Meinhof gang. (p. 197).

Long before 1968, Poland’ s Jewish Communists had openly positioned themselves as tactical adversaries of the standard Soviet-directed Communist establishment. For example, back in 1965, Jacek Kuron and a whole group of Jewish Communists had written a letter in which they identified themselves as Trotskyites (a fighting word among Soviet- and Soviet-directed Communists). Far from being freedom fighters, they had merely bucked the Soviets a bit advocating a Chinese- or Albanian-style of Communism. (p. 196).

Then there was the Soviet-sponsored anti-Zionist campaign in the wake of Israel’ s humiliation of the USSR in the June 1967 War. (p. 196). Poland, then a vassal state of the Soviet Union, had no choice but to comply.

THE MYSTIFICATION OF THE EVENTS OF 1968

So much for the facts. The 1968-1971 emigrations from Poland had falsely been transformed into a ” racial” act of Poles against Jews. (p. 194). Famous Jewish writer (and editor of GAZETA WYBORCZA) Adam Michnik vel Szechter, who still has not come to terms with the past regarding the murderous criminality of his brother, Stalinist Judge Stefan Michnik, made a trivialization mockery of the Katyn massacre calling the events of March 1968 a ” second Katyn” . (p. 193). Really. Never mind the fact that the death toll of 1968 is exactly zero!

THOSE IMMORTAL TALES ABOUT THE POLISH GUERRILLA NSZ KILLING FUGITIVE JEWS

During the German occupation of Poland, the Communists spared no effort to stifle attempts at eventual Polish independence. They began a propaganda campaign accusing the NSZ of collaborating with the Nazis. (p. 34). At the same time, they wrote a massive volume of denunciation letters to the Gestapo on the NSZ and other Polish freedom fighters. (p. 56).

This Polonophobic meme, of the NSZ killing fugitive Jews, also originated from Communist propaganda that had preceded the end of WWII. It has since been endlessly repeated in many Jewish writings, and LEWAKS. Historian Leszek Zebrowski is loud and clear: There is no evidence that the NSZ ever gave an order that either encouraged or commanded the killings of Jews because they were Jews. (p. 151).

But no matter:

Slawomir Maslikowski, writing in (where else?) GAZETA WYBORCZA (Poland’ s leading left-wing newspaper, funded by George Soros), accused the NSZ of killing Jews near the village of Zakrzowek (located in the Lublin area). Holocaust researcher Yisrael Gutman and (Communist) Shmuel Krakowski repeated this accusation as fact.

Oops. The archives indicate that it was a German crime. (p. 112). Oh well, try again…

The murders of Jews in the Kielce area were blamed on the NSZ (specifically the BRYGADA SWIETOKRZYSKA which–doubly ironically–did not even exist at the time)! The actual murderers of the Jews turned out to be Communist GL-AL bands. (p. 88).

Bandit bands (some of which blackmailed or killed fugitive Jews) commonly pretended to be NSZ guerrillas. Evidently, this became serious enough for the NSZ to actually send out a directive stating that it never acquires monies or goods by force, and that incidents of someone claiming to be NSZ and requisitioning items by force, should be reported to the NSZ command. (p. 125).

There is a document, purportedly written an NSZ leader, ” Zegota” (Tadeusz Kurczysza) that speaks of liquidating ” unfriendly minorities” . However, the document shows hallmarks of forgery: It has a misplaced signature, and is otherwise atypical of known NSZ documents of the time. (p. 145). Furthermore, it is a known fact that Communists used to regularly make forged NSZ papers, for disinformation purposes. (p. 150). At other times, they went even further. They would attack Polish settlements and leave behind actual or purported NSZ materials so as to put the blame on the NSZ in an attempt to discredit it. (p. 150).

There were also the BANDY POZOROWANE, whose existence repeated a Communist technique that went back to the Russian Revolution. (p. 213). The crimes blamed on the ZOLNIERZE WYKLECI were actually the deeds of Communist-sponsored bands. (p. 245).

THE POLISH GUERRILLA NSZ AND THE CANNED ACCUSATIONS OF (WHAT ELSE?) ANTISEMITISM

The charge of anti-Semitism is standard tool because it is so easy to make and so difficult to defend against. So here we go again. We hear the static about the NSZ ” anti-Semitic campaign” .

Historian Leszek Zebrowski analyzed 140 issues of SZANIEC (THE RAMPART), the leading NSZ underground newspaper. There are 76 mentions of Jews and, of these, 32 refer the Jews’ fate at the hands of the German Nazi conqueror and occupant of Poland. The remainder refers to unpleasant truths about Jews and Communism (sometimes called the Zydokomuna) and to the well-substantiated Jewish-Soviet collaboration in the Kresy. So this is anti-Semitism if one understands the term to encompass any valid criticism of Jewish conduct.

Quite a few NSZ members rescued Jews, and were honored Yad Vashem for doing so. (p. 128). Finally, far from being some kind of anti-Semitic, Jew-killing outfit, the NSZ welcomed openly-Jewish members. This included high-level Jewish officers. Historian Leszek Zebrowski lists and elaborates on some of them. (p. 128, pp. 153-154).

ANOTHER ROUND OF MYTHS ABOUT POLES KILLING JEWS DURING THE WARSAW UPRISING (1944)

This accusation had originally gotten publicity through the article Michal Cichy in (once again) GAZETA WYBORCZA (which is funded by George Soros). It was soundly refuted Zebrowski in his PASZKWIL WYBORCZEJ (see my review).

However, calumnies against Poland have nine lives. So now historian Leszek Zebrowski deconstructs Barbara Engelking and Dariusz Libionka. 2009. ZYDZI W POWSTANCZEJ WARSZAWIE.

There are volumes of documents available on the Warsaw Uprising, but Engelking and Libionka rely on a very selective set of sources. (p. 9). They cherry-pick anything that can remotely be construed as Polish acts against Jews. (p. 166). In particular, Engelking and Libionka rehash Michal Cichy, and also authoritatively quote Edward Kossoy and old Jewish Communist Bernard Mark. All three sources are devoid of credibility. In fact, they state obvious absurdities, which Zebrowski details. (p. 169, 172, 176).

ACCUSATIONS THAT CANNOT BE SUBSTANTIATED HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING PROMOTED!

Let us put this in broader context. Jewish testimonies are often contradictory, and, in any case, are impossible to verify. (p. 176). [A personal comment: Very many such testimonies, in those instances where they can be checked, turn out to be untrue. This is all the more reason that they not be believed unless they can independently be corroborated.]

Martin Gilbert’ s claim of 100 Jews killed by Poles during the Warsaw Uprising, is impossible to verify. (p. 169). For a historian to say this, it is the height of irresponsibility. [But, as long as it serves an agenda, who cares?] In any case, the reader may note the Judeocentric irony of 100 Jews allegedly killed now elevated to greater importance than the 200,000 Poles who died or were murdered by the Germans in the Soviet-betrayed Warsaw Uprising.]

THE LEWAK MYTH OF A ” POLISH CIVIL WAR”, AFTER WWII, THAT BROUGHT THE COMMUNISTS TO POWER

The successful Communist imposition of power in post-WII Poland had nothing to do with the outcome of some mythical civil war. In October 1944, Stalin had openly stated that, were it not for the presence of the Red Army, any Communist authority in Poland would not last a week! (p. 226).

In the first years after WWII, Polish Communist forces were very weak, and had negligible public support. The impending Communist government had been a Soviet imposition, pure and simple. During several months of 1944, the NKVD had already arrested nearly 17,000 Poles. (p. 226). This was just the beginning. From January through August 1946, the number of arrested Poles had exploded to 47,000. (p. 226).

As the Communists consolidated their power, countless NSZ members faced death or long imprisonment. In fact, the last NSZ member in Communist captivity was not released until the mid-1970s! (p. 135).
