Our colleagues in this body who are of Polish descent are held in the highest esteem by all of us. Our sports pages are well sprinkled with the names of leading athletes whose names would not be out of place in the columns of a newspaper published in Warsaw. I have briefly called attention to these things as a demonstration of how easily Polish immigrants and their sons and daughters have fitted themselves into our American way of life. a way of life which is not strange to any people in whose hearts burn the flame of freedom. Such are the people of Poland. the first to feel the might of the German Wehrmacht. Because this small nation was quickly overrun by the Nazis we are wont to overlook the fact that Poland bitterly contested every inch of ground given up.
Identified stereotypes
Poles easily fit into the American way of life because they value freedom.
