A short 🧵. Summer 1920. We were hopelessly losing the war against the Red Menace, until… we started winning it. A miracle? As you probably know, we are an insanely Catholic tribe, therefore… …millions of Poles sincerely believe that it was Virgin Mary herself who tipped the scales of that unequal confrontation with the Bolshevik Antichrist (btw, if I were you, I wouldn’t argue with this otherwise bold assertion. Not even with me).

1. „Black Saturday”. That’s how they called it afterwards.

80 years ago, on July 3rd and #OTD July 11th / 12th 1941, more than 5000 Jews were murdered by German troops on the outskirts of the Polish city of Bialystok.

Systematically and mercilessly. As always.

[THREAD] 1/11 2. In fact, Bialystok was more a Jewish city in Poland than a Polish city with vast Jewish population. Yiddish was spoken everywhere and Jewish life flourished.

Before it was destroyed, first by Soviets, then by Germans.

The amendment to the Polish Code of Administrative Procedure: an explanatory thread. With some historical background and – this time – in English. #WW2 #Restitution #Holocaust ⬇️

1/12 Imagine a house in Warsaw. Burnt out and abandoned in 1945. Before the German occupation six families had lived in this place. One of them was Jewish. Some tenants perished, some were deported to concentration camps, some others fled the persecution.
