Polish call for action in San Francisco
HELP TO STOP ANTI POLISH PROPAGANDA
Dear Friends,
Call for volunteers: 7 p.m. - Today, February 15, 2007.
The meeting place for volunteers is in front of the main
entrance to JCC, 3200 California Street, San Francisco.
I went yesterday to the JCC to try to establish
a platform for opportunity to present different
views on so called "Polish Anti-Semitism" than the
one presented by Jan Tomasz Gross in his highly
controversial books. The JCC is hosting a lecture
by J.T.Gross today:

I spoke with a representative of one of the sponsors,
the Taube Center for Jewish Life [*]. Another person,
a member of the Board of Taube Foundation did not return
my phone calls as of now. I found out that the event
is going to be a lecture with limited possibility of
asking questions, and with ZERO possibility for
discussion. Questions are to be submitted in writing
on provided cards and screened by the moderator. The
Taube Center person specifically stated that they do
not want any controversial issue to be raised. No
distribution of any printed material by guests will
be permitted. Any attempt of discussion, loud
behavior, disagreement, etc. will not be tolerated.
I think the idea of presenting other points of
view to the participants can be achieved only by the
distribution of the February issue of the News of
Polonia on the sidewalk. I might be wrong, but
observing life in the City of SF, passing out
leaflets on the sidewalk in a peaceful manner is OK.
There is one entrance to the garage and one entrance
to the building. We would need volunteers, for the
garage entrance and on each side on the approach to
the main entrance from both directions. If you have
a better idea, please write or call me. I will bring
the papers around 7 p.m. If you are interested in the
articles included in the February NoP please download
them from attachment to this email. One of the views
of the best Polish political columnist[in Polish]
is here: http://michalkiewicz.pl/ncz_2007-02-08.php
He is actually be visiting the Bay Area next week:
