Too much misinformation floating around. There is so much more to learn. Hopefully the museum will help to teach those lessons of history - hidden too long behind the iron curtain.

The ground in Poland is filled with the blood of 3,000,000 Jewish souls. The Germans were soldiers. Soldiers do what they are told to do. But the Polish neighbors..the children used to play together..and when the time came. The Poles, who did not have to... turned in their jewish neighbors. Please !! No antisemitism? There are no jews and the Poles are living in dead peoples houses.. with dead peoples property... Only the dead can forgive. Not us. Before they dies.. they pleaded "remember. remember we existed." It was the greatest robbery in history.. and now if a jew says they are owed.. then they fall into that horrible stereotype... is that right? Well let your entire families get killed. have other people living in their homes..making up lies to change history.. then be the huge forgiver. The people told us before their deaths..."Remember.. remember we lived". what are you talking about? The ground in Poland is filled with the blood of 3,000,000 Jewish souls.

What happened in Poland during WWII cannot be atoned for by return of property. Let those who stole that property, or whoever happens to own it now,keep it. Most original owners are dead and who knows who the rightful heirs are? Much more important is the reconciliation and repair of relations between Poles and Jews. Demanding property, rightfully or not, just reinforces the Jewish stereotype. How wonderful it would be if the Jews and Poles could manage to live together in friendship and goodwill. That can be achieved if good people in both communities work towards that end. There are things much more important than things.

As it attempts to polish its image abroad, perhaps even atone for its anti-semitic ways, Poland remains the only eastern European nation to have not settled reparations due to all the families whose properties were seized by the Nazis, the Communists, and now ... what shall we call them, the Capitalists?. Let's see how long it will take them to do the right thing because "crumbs" in the form of this museum will not do. great to hear about this new Jewish museum, which will not only focus on the Holocaust but on the Jewish presence in Poland and Polish culture.
