  • REASONS OF STATE

    The Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which lasted

    twenty-nine days, was, in effect, ignored

    by the Polish Home Army – the country’s

    Resistance movement – presumably for

    reasons of state. Unhindered, the SS

    ensured that the Ghetto was ‘Jew clean’

    for the Fuhrer’s birthday. The following year,

    during the Warsaw Uprising, which lasted

    sixty-three days, the Polish Home Army

    was ignored by the Soviet Army,

    which halted its advance – definitely

    for reasons of state – east of the Vistula

    until the Resistance had been defeated.

    Josef Stalin, silent anti-Semite,

    wanted Poland cleansed of all nationalists

    including his fellow Jew haters.
