I recommend this page be temporarily locked or otherwise restricted -- someone persists in adding attacks on Gross in Polish to the bottom of the article. The one most recently deleted read "Jan Tomasz Gross's books are examples of intellectual pathology." Xtff 00:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Books

The Jan T. Gross#Books section is far from complete. -- Wlod 05:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Theory vs. POV

A question to the editor who has attempted to put the veracity of Gross', Neighbors, into the realm of "theory". Assuming you have actually read the book, what part of it seems "theoretical" to you? Dr. Dan (talk) 14:36, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

undermines Poland's self-image as the heroic and the principle martyr of the war

It's nothing new. The Communist state did this job since 1944, killing, imprisoning, censoring and spying. It's very sad that Jan T. Gross quotes a faked diary written by Władysław Machejek. Xx236 (talk) 08:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Polonism

Several quotes constitute anti-Polonism and should NOT be allowed in Mr. Gross' biography. They lend nothing to the facts of his life. Several quotes were cherry-picked from his books and are being used to defame Poles.
