dzien dobry or dobry wieczor!

but the jews that stay every weekend at the hotel I work at are ridiculous. i do indeed dislike them

outside of 'Murica and the radical door-to-door bible pushers, do religious groups go all public forum to spread their awareness? I sort of feel like this is ALMOST a slap in the face to Germany. like "HAHA, you didn't get all of us!!!" but I know that isn't their intent with this.

I see this as the same as the radical religious nutjobs who stand on street corners with megaphones trying to spread the word of Jesus and others that push religion onto others. If I want to ask someone of a different belief a question about their life/religion, I'll go to their church or ask a friend who is of that faith. I won't go to the museum and ask where the Budha in the Box is.

you see people across europe still illogically hating Jews, and all humans forget history and generally sweep tragedies under the rug because it's 'unpleasant' to talk about.

Just realized that was my first post here. Seems awkward that this is what it took for me to speak out finally.

Russia+germany took over poland at once. Then russia kept poland under control till like the 80s.

Phew! Glad they didn't go with the original name, 'Jew in an oven.'


Too early?

Im from poland. Ww2 history was a major history lesson. Also, fuck the ww2 russians as well

Apparently that lesson went over your head. If not for Russians you'd be speaking German now.

As long as the Jew who is in the box is in there of their own free will, and willing to educate those who may have questions, what's wrong with it? Not like they're locking a guy up in a glass box all day and making a mockery of it.

I agree with this. It's important to know your history and I think if this is about education in the purest form I am all for it.

That is an extremely shallow thing to say. Just because you aren't Jewish or German means you have nothing to do with the Holocaust? May I remind you that Hitler exterminated over 4 million people not just of the Jewish faith, but also gays, paraplegics and everyone else that wasn't of the Aryan race.

I wasn't commenting on the right and wrong of the Holocaust. I was commenting on not knowing or understanding current social views on the exhibit in Germany. I don't live there and unless one does I don't believe one can comment on the feelings of Germans or Jews about the exhibit. The original post is reffering to a discussion about the exhibit not the Holocaust.

It's not actually officially called Jew in a box. I think that's a bit of media sensationalism. I always like hearing about other peoples cultures as long as they're not trying to preach them to me. I hardly ever ask though because I'm always afraid they'll take offense or it will be awkward for them.
