I actualy really like Gdanzk (or Danzig) which is a very modern and cultured city. It`s mainly the countryside form which such movements have their origin.
oh yeah - and in the case of Poland, resistance against the Ussr was mainly defined through catholic labor unions, so in the 1990s Polish nationality was redefined for most conservatives, meaning that being polish for them also means being catholic. Something the catholic church took advantage of to literaly cement it`s power. And no where else did they use that power that much. The most watched polish TV show is a soap about a priest. Catholic radio shows and stations (even antisemetic) are listened to throughout the country. And everything the pope has to say is a top story in the news.
Isn`t it ironic that there is more antisemitism today in Poland, than there is in Germany?
