1. WHO CARES POLES OR GERMANS. STOP THE BLAME GAME. OLD STORY.
OLEG ,   florida   (03.07.19)
JEWS NEVER LEARN FROM THEIR PAINFUL HISTORY. I BLAME EVERYBODY. THE JEWS, AMERICANS, ENGLISH, AND ALL OF EUROPE. BUT NOT THE OLD SOVIET UNION/RUSSIA.WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN ISRAEL DURING YOM HSHOA MANY SFARADIM WERE LAUGHING. I WAS TOO LITTLE AND STUPID TO UNDERSTAND. BUT MY FATHER WAS VISIBLY UPSET. MY FATHER ONE TIME GOT INVOLVE IN A HEATED ARGUMENT WITH ONE PERSON. MY FATHER SAID TO HIM THE GERMANS KILLED JEWS BUT YOU WERE KICKED OUT FROM MOROCCO AS A DOG. SO WE ARE BROTHERS.
2. Uh Oh!!!
Lois   (03.07.19)
Let the truth out!!!
3. Evidence of what?
starviego ,   san diego   (03.07.19)
They don't want to excavate because they fear they will find no evidence of any crime.
4. Just like in the Balkans: they never forget! Old hate is
(03.08.19)
usable any time, so it seems.
5. Stop the blame game?
Sulaco   (03.08.19)
@OLEG Who cares? Maybe I should say that it was British or US fault? Is it alright then? Germany and Israel don't have any reasons to emphasize the the truth about WWll.
6. Jedwabne
Goldendorki ,   Ashdod   (03.09.19)
It's about time to excavate dead bodies and to check who were the underhumen who did it.
There are witnesses or were , but Poles have to stop lying.
The religious opposition is not that important.
7. Jedwabne , the truth
Goldendorky ,   Ashdod   (03.09.19)
Who cares? We care and we won't forget for another thousand years.
And you ignorants should too.
Next time some sicko desides that he doesn't like people with brown dogs and has a power to kill all of them. Think about it .
No, we Jews won't forget and the Poles should know it.
The excavations should be done and religion is not going
to stop it.
There are not religious Jews too and their voice should be heard too.
No more lies.
8. Polish Jews' collaboration
Tomek ,   Lublin   (03.10.19)
with the Soviets, who occupied eastern Poland between September 1939 and June 1941, was the primary reason for the backlash once Germans pushed the Soviets away from this area. Collaboration with an occupying power against your fellow citizens (~1 milion ethnic Poles were sent to Siberia and Kazakhstan) constitutes treason. Obviously not all people killed commited this high crime, but the impression was that way too many of them embraced the new occupiers. And during the chaos of war impressions trump facts.
9. No matter who did the killings & how: why would the remains
(03.11.19)
still be at that particular site?
Just wondering...
Like in: they couldn't find a more suitable place to bury the remains?
What if they find nothing there: did it not happen and this story is one big, fat lie?
Seems convoluted, but why not just dig away?
Whatever they find there can be re-buried at EXACTLY at the same spot, thus violating NOTHING!
10. The Poles were as bad as the German Nazis !!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.11.19)
11. 2,000 righteous Poles saved 100,000 Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (03.17.19)
100,000 righteous Poles could have saved most Jews in Poland.

The widespread indifference to Jewish fate is the biggest blame against Poles.
