How many Jews were there in Poland in 1918-1919?
-
Poland was considered to be, before Israel,
-
Poland was really the cultural heart of Judaism.
-
There are three million Jews living in Poland.
-
In the east, mostly Orthodox and Lubavitcher.
-
By the way, just as an aside but it's a telling aside.
-
When I was in Zamosc we were taken to a synagogue
-
which had been turned into a place where high school students
-
and middle school students exhibited their paintings.
-
I asked the guide, who was taking these academics around,
-
and press editors, and all this stuff.
-
I said, "Look, what was the population of zamosc in 1939?"
