Reply to comment by Jimmoe in Let's make a list - What 25 places/things are core to JC? by Jahooodie

Lots of polish immigrated here from the old country. My family came from Poland to greenpoint BK and then bought a house on Pine Street by LSP.

No, I get it. Like many other foreign nationals before and since, lots and lots of Poles made JC home. Heck, I'm at least a quarter Polish. But a memorial of that size in such a prominent position, commemorating an atrocity in the old country, is a little eccentric, wouldn't you say?

Yea that statue got put there back when New Yorkers wouldn’t be caught dead visiting jersey, let alone moving in.
