Talk:Adam Czerniaków

Untitled
The information on the deportations was misleading. It was not a deportation of 3,000 but of 6,000 every day. My source here is Dawidowicz, since I happen to have it at home. I will check again with the diaries, which I have at work, but that will take a few days, since we are in the process of moving the library. Danny 23:04, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Senator?
Czerniaków has never been sworn as a senator. Authors of ''Posłowie i senatorowie Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej 1919-1939. Słownik biograficzny (Deputies to the Sejm and Senators of the Republic of Poland. The Biographical Dictionary'') assert that Czerniaków was a candidate (in 1930 general elections), but has not been elected. Moreover, no by-elections to the Senate were held before 1935. The source of disinformation is obvious - it comes from preface to Czerniaków's memoires, published in 1983 (ISBN 8301030429). Picus viridis (talk) 22:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Marcin Urynowicz in his book (based on his PhD dissertation on Czerniaków) ''Adam Czerniaków. Prezes Getta Warszawskiego'' (Instytut Pamięci Narodowej, Warszawa 2009) says (p. 138) that he was elected for Wołyń constituency on May 25th 1930, but, indeed, never sworn-in (the Parliament was soon dissolved on August 30th that year). However, Urynowicz claims he was elected from the minorities (Blok Mniejszości Narodowych) list, which got 33 327 votes, not BBWR. So I have corrected this in the article --Boston999 (talk) 23:06, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Historical revisionism
Is there any specific reason why a Jewish man with Polish passport had his identity changed to just Polish in the article? It makes it confusing and even more nonsensical with the part about his involvement in Judenrat and we noticed similar questionable editing in other articles that may lead to people being mislead. Not so surprisingly articles for people like Marek Edelman still use more correct version "Jewish-Polish" that is very easy to understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎89.69.234.65 (talk)
 * His nationality was Polish, and that's what the first sentence indicates. The lede also indicates that he was the head of the Jewish Council in the Jewish ghetto, so it's quite clear that he was a Jew. If that's not enough, the article is also in the categories "Jewish collaborators with Nazi Germany", "Jewish Polish politicians", and "Jewish engineers", so there's no change people will be "misled", though it is quite unclear what they might be "misled" about; perhaps you can clarify that.

 * Master Jayj, so are you saying that birth in Russia gives Polish nationality? 5.173.234.64 (talk) 22:39, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Collaborator?
Can we reasonably class this person as a collaborator? PatGallacher (talk) 18:25, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
