#1 Nice of the Poles that they think it's worth doing, though.

#3 I'm just amazed Poland still had any Jews in 1968, given how many of the survivors of WWII were murdered by the resident Polish Christians when they returned to free Poland in 1945.

#4 That would be about as smart as the farmers coming back to ZimBoBwe.

#5 I can't find the link, but there's a nostalgia movement for Jewish culture in Poland that is so strong it features non-Jewish Poles gathering for Jewish folk dances and eating Jewish foods. I think the Poles are smart for wanting their Jews to come home, they can only add to the cultural and economic vibrancy.

#6 I enjoy Messianic music, dance, etc. If you've ever visited Bleibergs in Berlin, you'll appreciate the cuisine as well.

#7 Back in the early 1970's, when I was living in (West) Germany, we saw a poster on a kiosk advertising a series of performances by the Polish Jewish Theater. My (nominally Jewish, fairly worldly and well-traveled) boyfriend of the time blurted out, "I didn't know there were any Jews left in Poland!"

Of course, I don't know how many Polish Jews it takes to give a theater performance....
