1 What, me worry?  Mon, Sep 12, 2011 9:11:48am

Who would desecrate a place like this? Bialystock? One of the worst ghettos. This is beyond just hatred. It's evil.

My grandfather was born in Sokoly, Poland. He hated the Poles and never called himself one. If you asked him, he'd tell you he was American.

The Poles were never good to their Jews and punished (by death) any gentile who tried to help them. In 1912, the close of the first world war, my grandfather was arrested when he was 10 walking home from school without his Star or Jewish paperwork. They threw him in jail with adult felons, a little boy, starved him and he would have died there without help from his uncle who eventually found him and got him released. Half his family managed to escape to America. One brother, Zaidel, dressed as a woman. The other half perished in Auschwitz.

The Holocaust Survivor group goes around every year, meeting in different places in Europe and they met in Poland this year, but many wouldn't go there. I know my grandfather wouldn't have.

Poland was once the home of the largest Jewish population in Europe. By WWII, approximately 90% of them were murdered.
