...purely ideological "crimes." But Soviet traitors like the Sakharovs, who give concrete aid to U.S. imperialism should be tried for their crimes. It is the height of hypocrisy for the ISO to accuse the SYL of anti-Semitism when their heroes in Solidarnosc look to Joseph Pilsudski, fascistic interwar dictator of Poland, as their model. Pilsudski set up concentration camps for Jews before World War II but didn't get a chance to use them because Hitler invaded first...
Even bad Shakespeare contains more nuggets of literary gold than half the premieres of a normal Broadway season Kilty started off well in taking a chainsaw to Shakespeare's text: the lopped off lines are not missed. He set the play in interwar England, the land of tea, croquet, and highly mannered living. But the questionable decisions start coming hard and fast...

The Poles escaped foreign domination for only the 20-year interwar period. After that short interlude, the Nazis and then the Soviets inherited the legacy of Austrian-Prussian-Russian domination. The Jews flourished during the interwar years in Poland as never before, blossoming culturally and politically. Image is a tribute to the fact that a proud culture cannot be eradicated, and as such deserved a tribute...
