Subject: RE: BS:'Arbeit Macht Frei' sign stolen from Auschwitz
We have had a lot of Polish people here in Lincolnshire, UK for many years - a lot of Polish aircrew flew from our airfields in WW2, and some married British girls, stayed and had their families here - so we're well used to them, and there's been a new influx in the past few years since they joined the EC.
They seem to be very well-mannered and extremely hard-working. Those who settled here after WW2 integrated very well indeed and worked predominantly in our engineering factories and on the land. I've never seen or heard any evidence of Polish anti-semitism, although, in fairness, I don't go looking for it (nor do I go looking for anti-anything-else, for that matter).
