I read a book review in the bath last night. The article, by Jack Hibberd, was titled Poland's Guilty Secret in the Review section of The Weekend Australian, and the book is titled 'Fear' by Jan T. Cross.
There were 3 words new to me so I've looked them up.
Neonate-- a newly born child, esp. one less than four weeks old.
context- 'On the outskirts, Poles shot dead a mother and her neonate child.'
Bivalent-- same as divalent
Divalent-- said of an atom of chemical element having a valency of two, and therefore capable of combining with two atoms of hydrogen or their equivalent.
Exculpates-- to remove from guilt or blame.
context-- "Yes, but ultimately he nails the existential fear of Poles for Jews, revealing a dual bivalent fear, but not one that exculpates.
