THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF ANTISEMITY.
INTERVIEW OF ALL Alina FOR THE "PRECIPAL" 26 MAY 2009
"POLICES AS A NATION HAVE NOT ENFORCEMENTED".
In a sense Poles are liable for the death of all 3 million Jews – citizens of the Second Polish Republic – says historian from the judaic Historical Institute Dr. Alina All
in an interview with "Rzeczpospolita" on 26 May 2009.
Rz: Are Poles co-responsible for the Holocaust?
Alina All: To any degree yes. The reason for this was prewar anti-Semitism, which did not morally prepare them for what was to happen during the Holocaust. 2 institutions were the bearer of this anti-Semitism. Groups forming a national camp and the Catholic Church. This second 1 began to favour the end of 1935. As a result, high-volume confessional writings began preaching anti-Semitic propaganda. For example, "Little Journal" by Kolbe (O. Maximilian Kolbe).
Rz: From endetic economical anti-Semitism, or ecclesiastical anti-Judaism to the genocidal racism of Adolf Hitler seems to be a long way away.
AC: Not so far away. All kinds of anti-Semitic discourse began to merge in the 1930s. economical anti-Semitism was justified by racism, and Catholic anti-Judaism became racist, commending Hitler's policy. The programme of the Camp of large Poland already in 1932 included postulates akin to those which were later included in the Nuremberg laws. The National-Radical Camp launched mass deportation projects, combined with the request that Jews finance their exile. That's what the Nazis did.
The demolition was financed from property robbed of Jews. The Oeners and clerical anti-Semites demanded the creation of the ghetto walls. Their want was granted by the occupiers.
Rz: Endeci did not postulate killing people.
AC: But they initiated any anti-Jewish riots, both from 1918 to 1920, and during the wave of over 100 pogroms from 1935 to 1937. People died in the pogroms. After the beginning of the occupation, there were spontaneous pogroms in Poland, specified as Easter riots in Warsaw in 1940, prepared by the organization associated with ONR Falang Bolesław Piasecki.
Rz: Not by the Germans?
AC: No. This event is related to a collaboration effort then undertaken by a group of Falangi activists. Piasecki remained in the shadows, and his function is not full explained.
Rz: These Falangi activists were shot in Palmira.
AC: They were utilized for wet work and removed. We're arrogant to have been a country without Quisling. But they were willing, the Germans did not want to cooperate with Poles.
Rz: But you say that the Germans utilized Poles for wet work.
AC: This pogrom was, of course, held with the logistical support of the Germans. The militants were picked up by Wehrmacht trucks. But without pre-war anti-Semitism, it wouldn't have happened.
Rz: But his scale was small. A fewer beatings or even killings aren't adequate to talk about the Holocaust.
AC: From a moral point of view, force is violence. But this wave of thunder is not all. Look at the problem of saving Jews during the Holocaust. A Pole who had been bombarded before the war with an anti-Semitic ecclesiastical and endecai agitation had to have doubts as to whether saving Jews was moral.
Rz: Or possibly these distractions came not from someone's agitation, but from the panic of the occupier. The death punishment for the full household for hiding a Jew... Put yourself in the position of a parent who risks the lives of children to a stranger.
AC: For hiding a Polish patriot, a associate of the resistance, there was besides a threat of death. And yet it was easier to organize, and more people were doing so. due to the fact that there were no moral dilemmas here anymore. In addition, any Poles actively participated in the Holocaust. Like the Sobibor Rebellion case. The prisoners who managed to penetrate the forest were captured by the peasants. In general, the chieftains in occupied Poland were obliged to denunt all the hiding Jews and guerrillas. The latter, however, were not mostly denatured, and the Jews frequently were. There are very fewer cases in which the full village takes work for the hiding Jew.
Rz: possibly people were just afraid of the tip.
AC: Well, what does this fear of the neighbor's study indicate?
Rz: That the wicked are in all community.
