- [     For You are a People.](https://padraigh.co.uk/for-you-are-a-people-2/) - The Resentment Escalates. We have reached a point of enlightenment in the Western-World, when the entire World has exited what we can consider was the Middle-Ages. This was now, supposedly, free of that darker living space, a period where intolerances are more easily betrayed to a World un-awakened to its threat for everyone.

Poland , for its part, enacted laws to refute any Polish Jewish status within Poland and it activated statutes which limited the Polish Jewish presence to mere subservience. Poland then restricted Polish Jewish businesses
