I read this with great interest. Although it feels like it's just sound bites of strange travel anecdotes, it somehow captures very well the complicated and self-contradictory relations between Poles and Jews. It does a good job of calling out quite a few of the pain points, somehow without overtly taking sides. All the more impressive since the author is not from a "third" nation (as I understand from the article, she is Jewish).
Mostly it captures well the multi-faceted nature of the relationship, without funneling the reader back to the one dimensional question of "who's the goodie".

“People don’t want to know the truth.”
Which is closer to your point about human nature.
