Far from claiming "nothing to apologize for" your fellow Polish intellectuals (who surely qualify as persons "with any knowledge") rightly urge that Poles should not be beyond introspection. See 3/8/87 NYT Article ("DEBATE OVER HOLOCAUST STIRS PASSIONS IN POLAND"): "What am I going to say, me a Jew of the New Testament Who has been waiting for 2,000 years for Jesus to return? My broken body will betray me in His sight, And He will include me, uncircumcised, among the accomplices of death." Czeslaw Milosz. |
