I was watching “caught in Providence” in YouTube and there was an ad about how Germany did the holocaust and it was from something about Poland.

Poland is very touchy about the holocaust, they just passed (or it may be about to pass) legislation that makes it a crime to insinuate there was collaboration with the nazis iirc. Also see the national uproar anytime anyone says ‘polish death camps’ referring to auschwitz etc.

I guess now they are taking a more proactive approach about reminding people it was all germanys fault lol

Poland massacred a bunch of jewish people right after the war ended. So there's that.

I saw something along those lines too, but ignored it as I was too busy unzipping my pants for the Logan Paul video I wanted to watch.

Why doesn't Polar really advertise their line of delicious seltzers and sodas? It's a travesty, I agree, OP.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
germany gets mad respect for how sober and unflinching they are in teaching their own history in school. they don’t mess around, they make it real clear that “here’s how monstrous evil developed among ordinary people. it’s our cultural burden to bear and it’s it’s your job to make sure it never happens again” which is some heavy poo poo to lay on a 12 year old but it seems to work.

versus basically every other country in the world that likes to pretend everyone was a giant shining hero who never did any wrong and anyone who suggests otherwise is the enemy (US & Japan especially, and apparently Poland)

the poles were dirty nazi collaborators who gleefully joined forces with the nazis to slaughter jewish women and children, and it is now HIGHLY illegal in Poland to say what I just said

a very ineffective propaganda campaign imho cuz now "poles and nazis" are in our heads forever :)

More Polish people than those of any other nationalities rescued Jews from the Holocaust, and more than 2.5 million ethnic Polish people who were not Jewish were murdered by the Germans.

i know, the einsatzgruppen were specifically ordered to target and murder "every polish leader", the poles were absolutely some of the worst victims of nazi brutality :(

otoh, the Poles are such monstrous jew haters that they were actually murdering jews AFTER WW2 ended lmao lmao

they didn't think the nazis killed enough i guess

quote:

In 1939 there were approximately 24,000 Jewish inhabitants in Kielce or one-third of the town's population. Almost all of them were murdered during the Holocaust. By the summer of 1946, about 200 Holocaust survivors had returned to or settled in Kielce. A minority were able to reclaim some property which had been confiscated by non-Jews during the German occupation.

During the Kielce incident, a mob of Polish soldiers, police officers, and civilians murdered at least 42 Jews and injured over 40 in the worst outburst of anti-Jewish violence in postwar Poland.

I actually wasn't aware that Germany was involved in The Holocaust until I saw one of these ads so personally I'm glad Poland is doing their part of shifting the blame to a much easier target informing the people
