Contrary to the common notion that news regarding the genocide was unavailable or unreliable, news from Europe was often communicated to North American Poles through the Polish-language press. This ...work engages with the origins of this debate and demonstrates that the Polish-language press covered seminal issues during the inter-war years, the war, and the Holocaust extensively on their front and main story pages, and were extremely responsive, professional, and vocal in their journalism. From Polish-Jewish relations, to the cause of the Second World War and subsequently the development of genocide-related policy, North American Poles, had a different perspective from mainstream society on the "causes and effects" of what was happening. New research for this book examines attitudes toward Jews prior to and during the Holocaust, and how information on such attitudes was disseminated. It utilizes original research from selected Polish newspapers, predominantly the Republika-Gornik, as well as survivor testimony from 1926-1945.
The press has always served as a historical document of tremendous value, reflecting the concerns, opinions, and interpretations of the times. In some current university lectures on the Holocaust, ...students are taught that there are few reliable ways to gauge the German public's opinion on what was happening within their country. The main source, outside of private materials, is Gestapo reports, which in and of themselves are biased, purposefully tampered with, and unreliable. The same cannot be said when attempting to understand how the Polish population, both inside and outside of Poland, felt regarding what was happening inside Nazi Germany, and eventually in occupied Poland. Unlike major English-language newspapers in North America, such as the New York Times, the Polish-language press did not bury or ignore news from Europe concerning the rise of Nazism and subsequent persecutions, but focused directly on them demonstrating that the news being communicated—and reactions to that news— was very real and not incomprehensible or implausible. The Republika-Górnik was one of America's largest Polish-language weeklies, and one that reported extensively on the European situation regarding fascism and Hitler well before 1933. This article specifically examines how Polish-Jewish relations and the looming war were reflected in this press from 1926–1930.

"11 Christians and scholars alike acknowledge the confusion noted in Acts when the Apostles argued over which practices remained valid and which did not, exposing that Jesus in fact left very little ...instruction for leading the new Christian community in an institutional sense. ...the Church established that priesthood is legitimized by the calling of God, persons do not choose for themselves to become a priest, it is "only by God's call.\n It is worthwhile to point out that the theme of all discrimination being contrary to God's intent, as expressed in Vatican II's Gaudium et Spes, has been interpreted as also pertaining to full denunciation of discrimination toward women in fulfilling their vocations. "111 Due to the declining number of priests, the focus on equality at the Vatican II Council, and the lack of a clear, concise argument based on scripture, theology or a tradition which is not gender-qualified, the issue of female ordination has been viewed as both a shortcoming and an additional barrier against ecumenism.
After the Second World War, Canada remained inaccessible to European victims of Nazism and made clear its position that the issue of survivors 'was not Canada's problem'. Nevertheless, after ...extensive lobbying by the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) and other groups, Canada's immigration policies began to ease, resulting in the greatest influx of Jewish immigrants to the country since 1911. Although the initial impact of the survivors was limited, The Canadian Jewish News (CJN) - the most influential vehicle for expressing the concerns of the Canadian Jewish community - created an awareness of the Holocaust's long-term implications on Canadian and international Jewry by easing strained relations and bridging the gap between the established and survivor communities. If not for the pioneering achievement of the CJN and the Holocaust survivors who politicised important issues and made them resonate with the wider public, Canada's memory and recognition of the Holocaust, legislation on hate crime, and school curriculum would be lacking.
