Chanukah in Poland

President Komorowski of Poland met with Jews in the Belvedere Palace, the Polish "White House," to light a menorah candle and celebrate Chanukah with the Jewish community. Poland has proven a land of resilient faith. The Catholics of Poland during the Cold War, alone among Communist nations, had crucifixes in state schools. Komorowski was a political prisoner in Communist Poland and was beaten by the police as a student. He is a Catholic who has been a seminary teacher. President Komorowski, in lighting a candle on the menorah at Chanukah, is continuing a tradition created by his predecessor, who died a few months ago in an awful airline crash.
