Marcin Drewicz: The Trilogy of “The Holocaust” by Kazimierz Braun
We know besides small of the past of these "restaurants" (l.m.), that is, restoring order in various countries of Europe after the fall of the Franco-Napoleon Revolution. What has been restored and what has not been restored? In what country, and in what another country? However, these revolutionary changes were – let us admit it – shallower (!), than the results of this in the 20th century already in respective stages of the peculiarly tragic Russia and the central-eastern part of the revolution, most mostly calling, socialist, especially in its heaviest communist variety (there is simply a view, for the countries of confederate Europe, that anarchism was even worse than communism).
The canon of the communist revolution included the taking of land, or farms, besides forests, together with the full robbery of owners of these properties, along with families and closest colleagues, the humiliation of these people, the exile of them not only from their families, but besides from household parties, frequently simply killing them.
In this way Poland was dealt with at the turn of 1944/1945 (in another countries of our part of Europe it was similar!) with this Polish "historical nation", i.e. the leadership so far in the Nation for centuries of cultural-social earth layer. This deficiency has not yet been completed in Poland, and the gigantic harm has not been repaired. So today, “as with us, it is as it is.”
“Earth – salt of the earth” – as we read on the banner appearing at the end of the second volume of trilogy.
specified activities were called "agricultural reform", with any of the lands obtained in the above manner being allocated to tiny parcels covered by till now agricultural or small-farmed peasants (the wealthier boys were besides expropriated from their land!), but any were left in the form of extensive, as they were called in Poland, PGRs, or State Farms. A lot to talk about...
So he speaks about it and writes Prof. Kazimierz Braun, the author of the long-running not in Poland anymore, but in distant United States AP. Apparently, “from a distance you can see better” due to the fact that in the country the disaster of “agricultural reform” and its consequences almost nobody dealt with, or does not deal with. However, ‘almost’ makes a difference.
Since the common cognition of the above mentioned topics in Poland is already in fact entrenched (on many another crucial topics too!), it is the Author of the Holocaust, after all, the novels, so that the man present here, not as a documentalist, but as a beletryist, feels obliged to include in the fresh storyline rather extensive, so to say, historical presentations, so as to tell his readers as much as possible what the substance is.
In order to guarantee that, as far as possible, no of the many issues constituting this "agricultural reform" stay without reference. So let us besides hurry up with another adverb (!) that under the slogan "agricultural reform" (also this "nationalization of industry"), due to the fact that it concerns both the broad masses of the Nation and especially its historical destroyed leadership layer, there are virtually all aspects of the life of that Nation, both material and spiritual (sic!) – its past history, the newer 1 and its present (!) in the present 21st century; "The Polish nation as it is now".
So – and let us emphasise this decisively – Kazimierz Braun wrote in his 3 “Exterminations” not only the shocking “history of the years (recently) passed”, but besides the parable-calling about Poland on the most present-current day.
"There are bills of harm in the country, and a abroad hand will not erase them either" – many decades ago another author wrote, with different intentions, but it is to us present this most useful phrase that is seamlessly offering.
So let us not talk about the demolition of Polish landownery and with it Poland in many 100 years of understanding, but let us show where and what stages of it Kazimierz Braun spoke about.
The first 1 (first edition: 2022) treats about the Second planet War, about the German business in the alleged General Government (the thing is happening on the left bank of the Vistula River, in Świętokrzyski), about the heroic era of the Polish court of those years, about the passage of the russian front in January 1945 and about the installation of the alleged folk power, the "memorial" emphasis of which was the "agricultural reform". Let the novelist talk and let his reader be satisfied with reading.
We are here in a hurry to pay attention to this in-depth by Kazimierz Braun, who has been following the process of tearing apart this unity, which is with his land and with his household and his farm man and, more broadly, the household who has been surviving and working on the same land for hundreds of years. And here abruptly – yes, not suddenly, as the announcements of this tragedy date back before the war, especially from what happened to the east of Poland – all of this centuries-old accomplishment goes into ruins and/or gets robbed, torn apart, and people are driven to dissipation or murder.
One thing remains, namely, the earth. But in the hands and under the control of strangers and hostiles.
specified memories, impressions and images stay forever in the consciousness that was in 1945 at the school age of Adam Szablowski, about which traumatic experiences we will not talk about here, due to the fact that we do not want to receive P.T. Readers of impressions from discovering subsequent fresh views.
These 45 years of communist PRL go by, and here we have... no, not some, let's say, “Releasance”, “Restauration” (see above), “Rebirth”, or “Reparation”, but, after the old: “Extermination 2.0”, or Continuum.
Adam Szablowski is already an entrepreneur in the United States, married to Polka, he has 2 adult children. He was educated in PRL and worked here for years. Most importantly, and what the author emphasizes – what Szablowski gained in his life, starting from zero, was a persistent professional work, not through any couture, or scamming, or through any political affiliation, as in peculiar to the PZPR. Yes, in Poland, he meets a alternatively interesting figure, consciously exercising the privileges of belonging to the communist party, and it is not 1 specified figure...
due to the fact that Szablowski, led by reports of breakthrough events in the Homeland, arrives in Poland in October 1989 (sic!) in order to probe opportunities – specified as Kontrrevolution, is Kontrrevolution – to recover the household property, which involves plans that are crucial in the future not only in the context of his/her own-family, but besides in the context of the general social and national ones (which we do not, of course, betray).
This is so a dynamic survey of what it was in truth, or alternatively what it was not based on the alleged circular table and on the alleged talks in Magdalena "the second revolution of Solidarity" in 1989. Suffice it to say that the average – it would seem – restitution of property plundered by the communists found opponents besides among any members and even activists of "Solidarity" that we will not mention the people of the communist regime.
Most likely, all arguments “for” and “against” Kazimierz Braun collects in his novel. These sound from, among others, the grandstand of the recently elected Sejm, due to the fact that due to Adam Szablewski in particular, there comes a restitution bill, rejected by a large majority of the Sejm. And that concludes the political fresh “Down 2.0”.
And we remember what happened later in the last decade of the 20th century. An effort to bring back a part of looted property in Poland was respective – all failed. another erstwhile "nationals of folk democracy", another than Poland, considered the first step of "getting out of communism", different in each country, solved and mostly only partial, but inactive compensation for the robbed families.
The fresh Adam Szablowski states in 1989 that this fresh law on restitution of property, which, according to the author, "is indeed absolutely correct legal structure; it is balanced – not compromise – but just balanced..." (p. 289), wrote a individual rather unexpected, and besides a person, but another, will present it in the Sejm forum. That's the way it is... the corners of history.
He besides learns: “If you decide to buy your property, it could be rather a fast and short way (...) that is in this bill; it stands first; we must rebuild the state first; the way of restitution is subject to many conditions...” (p. 204).
In seeking further our observations, we note that in the "Doomsday 3.0", which takes place 34 years later, i.e. in the year 2023, or "now" in the depths of the 21st century, we find confirmation that this gross (sic!) redemption of his own property from the country here – let us admit – as a barrier (!) or from a individual who, by virtue of the organization privilege, acquired him from the country-pasher "at a preferential price", inactive remains a dominant way for the grandchildren and great-grandsons of the plundered landowners, even if only those remaining after the ancestral mansions.
The applicant Adam Szablowski, traversing the long-unseen country with a rented car, finds these fleeting moments to halt and to rapidly embark on a gathering of native landscapes, these peculiar places visited in childhood and inactive in youth, and places of his earliest residence. He besides finds time for spiritual counsel.
Exactly. Kazimierz Braun focuses his attention on the restitution of landowner property, which should be pointed out at last – led by sad experiences of his own household and others straight known to him. any another social groups were besides robbed by communists; the Catholic Church was besides robbed.
We have not preceded this statement, but we are in a hurry to announcement – per analogy – that the restitution of immovable ecclesiastical property in Poland was carried out at the turn of the 20th/XXI century, and the process lasted most likely 20 years. Even the media of the widest audience mentioned the end of it, and many of us only learned that specified things were happening in our country.
So – you can! Thus, the ready-made model of applicable behaviour in this respect in Poland is practiced in the 21st century. After eliminating the errors observed, it can besides be utilized by restitution of property of robbed Polish families – individuals, but besides household economical institutions. Isn't it?
Then why is it inactive deaf? Why was the restitution of ecclesiastical property – a very interesting thing – held in absolute media silence? Why only a Polish author from America, a man of the oldest generation to this day, must take up this subject of return of Polish private property? inactive quiet in the country.
We effort to remember specified or another chats with different people and/or media enunciations on the subject mentioned here, during the last 36 years. In our case, there was not much opportunity. However, it is recalled that, through this long period of time, "the post-communist achievements of the Polish State cannot afford to make amends to the Polish families and the Nazis (especially the land, but not only it), nor in the form of replacement monetary compensation".
Then, too, but especially late on specified a consequence of a average Pole, there is simply a rage:
Can't you afford it? And to origin gigantic losses and even mass deaths (!) these absurd “covid regulations” you could afford! On cue! And you can afford to “hold another nation” (Ukrainian) from our Polish pocket! And for something as costly as reinforcing – inactive out of the pocket of an excruciating Polish payer – a abroad (Ukrainian) country conducting a devastating material war is what you can afford! And you can afford to exempt abroad companies, but besides smaller abroad companies from paying taxation in Poland!
For all sorts of money and legal reliefs, including the crowds of alien refugees from now on, possibly a fewer twelve nationalities can afford it! You can afford to buy more costly energy than cheaper suppliers! For the 1990s (previously, but in a different way) the demolition of the Polish industry, including mining industry, including the maritime economy, and in general the choking of Polish initiative and Polish manufacturing, can afford it!
In fresh times, you can afford this multimillion-dollar emigration of Poles from “developing Poland”! To ruin – as it turns out, even worse than in the times of the Polish People's Republic – these thousands of monuments of agrarian court architecture and others, you can afford it! You can afford the freedom of a abroad “developer” in Poland! And so on – the list is long!
And all this with the devastating harm of all Poles, among them both those from families robbed by the "agricultural reform" and "nationalization of industry", as well as those from families of beneficiaries of this plunder.
But the mega-mega-scatter-prodigal and at the same time the paser state (!) just for that simple, and for the benefit of all, to do harm to the still, necessarily, "not to stand." These lost so far, possible but unexistent public benefits point to Kazimierz Braun introducing us to the broad plans of the fresh Adam Szablewski – as it might be, and not.
1 fresh character hastens this statement: “Decrees on agricultural reform, nationalisation of forests and nationalization of manufacture have been written by strangers. Strangers of the Polish tradition and Polish ethos...” (“Down 2.0”, p. 351). We are in a hurry to argue:
After all, the author himself in the mouth of another fresh character puts information about not strangers at all, but surely native-Polish "agricultural reforms" of 1920 and 1925. A lot to compose about. In another European countries, things were rather akin after planet War I. Communist Moscow in 1944/1945 had everything “on a platter” everywhere. There were only any amendments to those already prepared and verified texts.
And vice versa. In the revolutionary Spain, the People's Front carried out the "agricultural reform" ordered in 1932. But shortly in the areas occupied since the summertime of 1936 by national-Catholic insurgents, the full "reform" was simply cancelled. So everyone who was "taken from reform" had to give the land first to the owner. That's it.
All those who preach – the author of the “Definition” is not – that all Pole is the same as a noble innocent kid and that all evil in Poland (in Polish lands) comes only from abroad people, is profoundly wrong. Not just from strangers!
After all, possibly all the European nations through this Revolution of the last 2 and a half centuries were torn apart, torn apart, as in the informing visions of the Scriptures--how frequently a brother, and it was sometimes that a brother of his own stood against a brother. Strangers benefit from it, aliens are instigating it, aliens are attached to the winning and/or richer side, or to this side more susceptible to external influence, to this bribery (!) finally... And so on. That's what past teaches.
But strangers in Poland will do no harm to us erstwhile we at last bring order to ourselves. Like those seemingly naive Szablovski novels, who generation after generation are coming after generation for the return of what they have been robbed and what belongs to them. Isn't it?
We wrote about the “Doomsday 3.0” published in 2024 in a two-part discussion entitled “The Posthumous triumph of the Soviets Over Us. Around the fresh 'The Holocaust 3.0′ Kazimierz Braun'. Did Adam Szablowski's son, Jerzem, manage to catch a lead during his visit to Poland in 2023 (!) to regain his native habitat? What difficulties did he face? All we're going to say here is that the difficulties... the unexpected and another things that are going to happen. It's been like this for eighty years. How much longer?
Post-war Poland so much and inactive wants to "parallel the West", from which it in the era of the Polish People's Republic "draw away". But on this "model" The West was no communist – like the ones east of the “iron curtain” – expropriation, land partitions, expulsions, robberies, harassments and murders. There have been no injuries to the ‘de-je-ce-le-le-le-le-le-le.’ (“Extermination 2.0”, p. 339). So you want to be equal? Do it! reconstruct here in Poland these "pre-war" standards, which you look at with specified delight in the "free West".
In the end, a small bit about something as different as it is. Here is simply a question conducted among many dozens (!) of school textbooks for the past of the last 36 years will most likely prove that in no of them – as in the communist times of the Polish People's Republic – there is no specified colorful paste with the ranks of specified only the oldest Polish noble coats (e.g. from the “Długosz klyenotów” or under the act of the Horodel Union), with their very essential archaic names.
But without these coats of arms, there is indeed no past of ours, so there is no basis for any appeal for present or tomorrow. So the execution of the Revolution's conviction continues here!
