The Gay Polish Lawyer and the mystery of the Elderly Jew

[Martinus]

So, there is a mystery afoot.

Let me preface, I live about three bus stops from a large shopping gallery which connects to the Warsaw's central railway station, so it gets a lot of traffic (the trains from the station also go to the airport, Heathrow Express style).

I visit the mall frequently, as it is the closest one of that size to the place where I live, so I shop there, leave laundry there etc.

Now, about 5-6 months ago there, I have been sitting at one of the cafes there, minding my own business, on my iPad. Suddenly, a rather nice elderly man, in his 60s or 70s approached me. He was well dressed, was wearing glasses and long gray hair. He spoke English. He asked me if I liked the iPad, as he just got one for himself and was unsure how to use some functions, so we spent about 5 minutes talking where he asked me to show him how to do something on his iPad. I remember seeing his emails - they were all in Hebrew.

Eventually he thanked me and left.

Now, since then I have seen him about 10-12 times, in the same mall. I figured he may be traveling to Poland/Warsaw a lot, so it is not extraordinary (though a bit of coincidence). But... recently I saw him in a cafe just around the corner from where I live. And then again in a street nearby.

And that started the whole thought process. Is he stalking me? Am I the only one who sees him? Is he supernatural? Hence the poll. :

You don't think it's possible that, by meeting the man, you now know what to look for and how to pick him out of a previously-unknown crowd of people?

He's been there all along, you've just never had reason to notice him before.

Clever. Or is it? 

Edit: Something someone trying to cover up the Wandering Jew(tm) conspiracy would say.

A Pole not picking out a Jew in a crowd of people?  Color me skeptical.

Why would the Wandering Jew choose to appear to Mart?

To warn him of the perdition that awaits?

[Ed Anger]

Could be a ghost of all the jews the poles helped kill. He gave Mart the heebie-jeebies.

Vaginas do that as well.

I know that mall and train station...marty and I may have seen each other at some point.

Mart was that gay guy there.

If he had emigrated from Poland he would have spoken Polish to you, not English.

Only Israelis use Hebrew script that I'm aware of. 

So he's Israeli born, my guess is of Polish Holocaust survivors.  Maybe in Poland trying to get back some family property.
