The Poles still hate the Jews, and there are none of us left in Poland any more.
--- Do you have evidence for this, or is this simply a cultural stereotype?

Auschwitz. Not, interesting, Oszweicim (sp?). How terrible to be from there, and to have that pall hang over your inevitable answer to that inevitable question.
--- Yes, that must be a bummer. About 10 years ago I read an interview with Eichmann's son, who at least at that time was teaching anthro at the University of Tubingen. He said something like "I know my father did some very bad things, but to me he will always be the guy who taught me to ride a bike." Thank God Hitler didn't have any children. On the other hand, Stalin's grandson and great-grandchildren (who is named Josif Veniaminovich Dzhugashvili - imagine growing up with that name) are down in Georgia. Stalin III spends his time glorifying the memory of his illustrious progenitor, which of course is less controversial in Stalinophilic Georgia.
My grandfather was in fact a Nazi (not a party member as he was too young, 17 when he was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1943, but a Hitlerite). I used to have some real psychological baggage over that. BTW he wasn't a vicious anti-Semite either; in his mind he was just following the orders of the Fuehrer like a good patriotic soldier.
