Jerzy Urban, spokesman for Polish communist government, dies at 89

To many Poles he seemed to personify the government’s brutality after dozens were killed in the 1981 martial law crackdown, as well as its cynicism and contempt for the Solidarity movement, led by Lech Walesa, and the millions yearning for freedom.

Poland’s offer to New York followed the U.S. government offering to send powdered milk to Poland to replace fresh milk tainted by radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. The U.S. Senate stipulated that nongovernmental agencies in Poland distribute the powdered milk to make sure it got to the people.

Jerzy Urban was born in the central Polish city of Lodz on Aug. 3, 1933, the year that Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, to a Jewish family so well assimilated that he didn’t learn of his Jewish roots until after World War II had started. Urban survived the Holocaust hiding in the countryside. In an 2020 interview with the Polish edition of Newsweek, he described his early commitment to socialism.In the first semi-free elections in 1989, Urban’s reputation was such that he failed to win a seat in parliament — even as some other former communist functionaries entered post-1989 political life.

You only need to look at who is attacking you to know who your enemy is, so why is it so hard for people to see that their government is their enemy?
