::This Wikipedia knows the book [[Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz]] and lists academic critics of it.[[User:Xx236|Xx236]] ([[User talk:Xx236|talk]]) 08:27, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
::Paweł Machcewicz, frequently attacked by Polish nationalists, has published a critics of the book [http://wiez.com.pl/2008/02/21/zbyt-proste-wyjasnienie-o-strachu-jana-tomasza-grossa/].[[User:Xx236|Xx236]] ([[User talk:Xx236|talk]]) 08:29, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
:::I agree with [[User:Icewhiz|Icewhiz]]. Gross's Fear is accepted enough by mainstream academia that it can be used as a source for Wikipedia. It's ok that there are critiques too - it doesn't discredit it as a source. ''Fear'' garnered far less criticism than ''Neighbors'' did. Also, most American scholarship on Polish anti-Semitism has its share of Polish critics - that doesn't mean it shouldn't be used on Wikipedia. As a compromise, [[User:George1738|George1738]], how about adopt [[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]'s idea - acknowledge that Gross has his critics. The section still deserves to be there. I also agree with [[User:Xx236|Xx236]]that using the term "government" is fuzzy when some in the government were Jewish. Gross acknowledges that but you don't as much.
:::In this addition, [[User:George1738|George1738]], please use clean writing (noun-verb agreement!). And some of your statements are oddly discombobulated. E.g. ''Anti-Semitic Poles benefited since they rid their local communities of Jews'' - that's an almost anti-Semitic statement; explain ''why'' they stood to benefit - because they took over the Jews' property.[[User:Chapmansh|Chapmansh]] ([[User talk:Chapmansh|talk]]) 22:45, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
