I am also often annoyed by those Jews who sing the Polish narrative, call all the lands the Poles grabbed after the fall of Czarist and Austrian-Hungarian Empires as "Poland" regardless of the fact the Jews spoke Yiddish and knew enough to know their neighbours were not talking Polish.
Many poles lived and still live in Belarus. It was theirs for a long time. But as far as Jews are concerned, all these towns and yeshivas as culturally litvish, in terms of Yiddish dialect, etc. So who cares for the demarcation of borders.
"all the lands the Poles grabbed after the fall of Czarist and Austrian-Hungarian Empires". hard to believe such a shocking level of ignorance is even possible! and why spoil a beautiful recollection of a great man with this unrelated nonsense?
