I continue to be amazed the things you learn on HN. When I was in Poland last summer I learned that a number of Jewish leaders there between the two world wars advocated for a Jewish homeland. But they were never able to convince the government to publicly declare that support. Despite the fact at the time Jews made up to 25% of Poland's population.
- acidioxide 2y agoThat's wrong. Polish state from 1926 onwards supported Zionists (in the years 1926-1939, Poland was ruled by the authoritarian Sanation movement).
- rmason 2y agoVerified you are correct. Yet the museums I toured in both Warsaw and Gdansk gave me the exact opposite impression.
