    main strain of foreign blood... but now there came multitudes of men from the
    lowest class from the south of Italy and men of the meaner sort out of Hungary
    and Poland, men out of the ranks where there was neither skill nor energy nor any ini-
    tiative or quick intelligence.. .' T. Woodrow Wilson, History of the American People

  10. The persistence of a substantial Polish community in the USSR is not advertised by the
    Soviet authorities, and Soviet Poles are conspicuous by their absence from almost all the
    official activities arranged in Poland for Polish emigres. Soviet sources, which put Soviet
    citizens of Polish nationality at about 1.5 million, are widely believed to underestimate
    their true numbers.

  11. n.b. The great majority of Polish-speaking Israelis would never admit to being 'Poles' but
    merely to being 'Jews from Poland'.

  12. George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia (London, 1975), 246. This verse, inspired by the
    defeat of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, rings very true to the Polish social-
    ists and radicals who were the main target for Stalinist repression.

    'Pozegnanie Czajld Harolda' is in his Poezje, ed. J. Kallenbach (Wroclaw, 1949), i,
