The population doesn't have a reasonable chance if there aren't institutions in place to support them," says [Tad Taube], who now lives in San Francisco. He left Poland weeks before [Adolf Hitler]'s tanks rolled across the border in their Blitzkrieg attack that started the Second World War. "The preoccupation of Jews in most of the diaspora is of Poland as a cemetery for Jews," he said during a recent visit to Warsaw. But his philanthropy efforts are "about Jewish life in Poland, not Jewish death. "Poland really was more than just a country where Jews took refuge," [Sigmund Rolat] said in Warsaw. "Poland was really our home."
The Israeli ambassador refuses to meet its leader, Roman Giertych, who is deputy prime minister. Giertych's father, Maciej, a member of the European Parliament, recently made a speech praising Franco, Spain's fascist dictator, as a hero and statesman of a stature Europe is now sorely lacking. [Lech Kaczynski]'s identical twin brother Jaroslaw, who runs the Law and Justice party, is doing his bit, too. Last week he took over as prime minister from Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, the country's most-trusted politician who also proved a competent negotiator for Poland at European summits. Kaczynski has brought in a well-respected free-market economist, Stanislaw Kluza, as finance minister, after a previous incumbent, Zyta Gilowska, was forced out on (possibly trumped-up) spying charges. But the Ka...
The U.S. proposal to place radar and interceptor sites for a new missile defence system in Central Europe -- respectively, in the Czech Republic and Poland -- may generate a new security partnership with the countries of the region. Or it could provoke a spiral of misunderstanding, weaken NATO, deepen Russian paranoia and cost the United States some of its last friends on the continent. Perhaps the best illustration of the changing dynamic is the fact that the visa issue that once vexed Polish politicians -- Americans come to Poland without visas, while Poles need them to enter America -- has lost its urgency. There are a lot more proverbial Polish plumbers working legally in Britain and Ireland than illegally in Chicago. While U.S. influence and esteem have diminished, strategic stakes...
WARSAW, Poland -- A pro-business opposition party that wants to bring Poland's troops home from Iraq had a double-digit lead over the prime minister's strongly pro-U.S. party in the country's parliamentary elections Sunday, according to exit polls. Appearing before supporters late Sunday, [Jaroslaw Kaczynski] said "we didn't manage in the face of this unprecedented broad front of attacks," referring to the opposition's campaign. It is Civic Platform's intention to make Poles feel much better in their own country than they have felt so far," Tusk told supporters. "We are going to do huge work and we will do it well. You have the right to rejoice today.
Poland is one of them. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski was in Ottawa this week to talk about NATO and the war. He had strong words for what he called the "free-riding" members of the alliance who refuse to commit troops to the combat zone in Afghanistan. In Lithuania this week and at the crucial summit of NATO leaders in Romania in April, he said, Poland will argue that "more needs to be done... burdens have to be shared more fairly, and that there's no room for free-riding in this most important operation that NATO has undertaken.
Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...

It's really a challenge," [Tanya Segal] said after leading a Shabbat service on a recent Friday night in a room nestled above Grodzka Gate, an arched passageway that separated Lublin's Christian and Jewish quarters. "But I hope to satisfy their interest, to bring them this opportunity... to experience Jewish life. "We really believe that women should be fully present and fully equal on every conceivable level of Jewish leadership and scholarship, and we want to send this message loud and clear to the world," said Rabbi Burt Schuman, the head of Poland's Progressive Jewish community. Segal joined him in December as the second rabbi at their congregation in Warsaw, Beit Warszawa, after her ordination in November at the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem. "I don't think they can have a re...
