Inclusion of Jews

Sourced that Jews were to be included as well. --Molobo (talk) 14:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

That may be possible, but what is the sense to put the "jews" seperated from the polish people into that article. Jewism is not an own nationality in this case, as we are speaking about polish people here. When they wanted to remove the Polish people that sure would include the _polish_ jews, but there was no special antisemitism in the german empire. This was all about poland and not against jewism. With those resetteled Germans would have been a lot of german jews again in this region. StoneProphet (talk) 22:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Geiss mentions quite clearly that Jews were pointed out alongside Poles as targets for expulsion after victory in the war. Unless you have some sources confirming your claims I see no point in removing Jews from the sentence.--Molobo (talk) 22:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Most of the Jews in Congress Poland didn't only have a different religion but spoke a different language and didn't consider themselves as Poles. Many even moved to other countries (including Germany) because of the anti-semitism in Poland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.61.212.198 (talk) 14:17, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

That's just bunk. They didn't move out of "the anti-semitism in Poland" - Germany was never no less antisemitic. They moved solely for financial reasons. 79.191.64.93 (talk) 03:45, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
