Historian Prof. Havi Dreifuss discusses the Nazi terror in occupied Poland during the first months of World War II. On this topic and more in Yad Vashem's new online course: "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question".
My husband , Maxwell Smart is a 93 year old Holocaust survivor , born in Buczacz, Poland, now part of Ukraine, The Poles and Jews were victims of the Nazi regime, and their collaborators, the banderowcy, Ukrainians who committed all the horrible massacres of Jews and Poles, my husband hid in the woods for 2 years in a hole like a rat from the Ukrainians, could not have survived without the help of a poor Polish farmer who risked his life and of his family , his memoir The Boy in the Woods “was released in May 2022, dedicated to the Polish farmer , and yesterday we attended the premiere of the film The Boy in the Woods at Tiff , he would like the farmer Jasko Rudniski honoured by Yad Yashem , his request was refused , there are no witnesses
I am sorry to hear that there are no witnesses but he is the greatest witness there is, I also believe that it happened to him. You be blessed my friend. ❤
What a GREAT Testimony! Yours, about your fathers, and Jasko Rudniski's from your father. Tell your father not to feel bad about not being able to honor Jasko by Yad Yashem. Yes it would have been nice but there were and are so many to be honored, its impossible to recognize every single person and family. I believe your father had honored his farmer very much, he wrote a memoir dedicated to Jasko AND a movie made of the story too! WOW! Send a copy of the book, and if the movie is on video send that to him too. and if thats not enough HONOR... Plant a Tree in his name, yourselves. You don't need to honor by Yad Vashem, you already Have in a huge way. But think about the Tree also, it will live on and grow tall and strong long after your father and Jasko and even you have passed on, being there for many many generations to enjoy, as their story is being told new generations.
He is a witness
Bless you
@@debracornelison1411 Thank-You! and Bless You and Yours as well. and, Take care of yourself.
Whew. Couldn’t breathe, listening to that. Didn’t understand that Poles were THAT badly treated; knew only that between Germans and Poles we Jewish people didn’t stand a chance. Thank you for this. I may have to think it all out again.
The SS Gestapo and the "Death's Head units" couldn't tell who was Jewish and who was a Polish native. It's like when I come face to face with an Asian race. I don't know what Asian race they are whether they are Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, from Thailand or Indonesian so the Nazis couldn't tell who was Jewish and who wasn't when the transports of the people in the cattle wagon trains arrived at the death camps
However, I am amazed by how many Jews hold the false belief that Jews were "caught between Germans and Poles," completely ignoring the fact that Poles were considered subhumans slated for extermination according to the Generalplan Ost.
At the very beginning, Polish assistance to Jews was relatively common, which is why in 1942 the Germans introduced harsh laws against aiding Jews (nowhere else in Western Europe were such rules implemented). Death penalties were even imposed for concealing knowledge that a neighbor was hiding a Jew; this applied to anyone suspected of having such knowledge and not sharing it with the German authorities. Entire villages were exterminated for assisting Jews, and this was not an empty threat.
I have read many testimonies from Jews, and nowhere have I seen any analysis of the other side, the Poles who faced the dilemma: "Report and your family survives, don't report, and you might perish."
I have also read many testimonies from Poles. In one of them, a man, in front of his own 12-year-old daughter, had to refuse shelter to a Jewish family, even though they offered her entire home in exchange. Till end of his life he felt bad with that especialy that this family didnt survive German's holocaust, but maybe he just saved his family.
Of course, there were profiteers who saw an opportunity, but it was not widespread. Underground organizations passed judgments on them, and it was the inhumane GERMAN laws that caused these profiteers to emerge.
@@ChairmanPaulieD In Poland thay could , Jews lived in own districts. 70% of them didint spoke polish. Jewish communities had lists. Germans didnt need Poles to determine it. At the beginning , the same as in other countries thay made list of Jews. Its not supriced that in Poland most jews who survived ware assimilated, knowing Polish.
Where does this equation of Poles and Germans come from? For hundreds of years Poles and Jews lived side by side, maybe not always in harmony but not mass murder. This is the propaganda of Soviets and post war defeated Nazi’s.
@@ChairmanPaulieD it is easy to tell a jew from a Pole. The jews have the satanic Ashkenazi look
My great-grandfather was shot by German soldiers in front of his family because he hid a pig when they came to confiscate food.
A HOLES!
TERRIBLE! So Sorry! Those were Terrible days, a Terrible era. Pray God, nothing like this ever happens again.
I'm so Sorry for your family's loss. What a terrible thing to happen, and in front of his loved ones. It was their barbaric way of showing what happens to anyone keeping back (hiding) anything from their taking. At that time it was unjust, but so was murdering millions. They, the Soldiers mindset was they didn't care if your great grandfather or anyone else starved, because they were killing as many people as they could. They saw that pig as food for themselves. their Mindset.. hiding it was like Stealing it from them. What is yours is now Ours.
A-Men! to those words.
EXACTLY the same was the case with my grandfather (mom's father). No, there was one difference, not a very significant one: they told grandfather's son to take the horses and the cart and go back home and a few days later they called the family to come and take away the corpse of my grandfather. They said he had committed suicide but his wife when she saw the body said it was covered with wounds from beatings all around.
Greetings from Poland. Good work Yad Vashem.
As a Pole thank you for this video. I hope it will make some people rethink their opinion on the Polsih people during the Holocaust and maybe rethink their opinion of us. Ofcourse there were Polish who denounced the Jews (and Polsih people also) to the Germans, but facts in the above video are also important.
My family is from the countryside and one aunt, as a child, remembers standing in front of a Gestapo HQ - the Germans took the biggest, nicest building there. She described how, in the plaza outside of the building, Germans would release German Sheperds onto the Jews and Polish soldiers who were captured. The dogs would devour them alive and she witnessed that herself.
Also, one of my great grand mothers found a Jewish man hiding in the garden. She gave him some food and told him to look for help in the forest, as that is where the resistance was hiding. So she gave him some food and he left, his fate unknown. Unfortunately she could not do anything more to help him. Hope he made it or found peace in whatever awaited him.
In the village there was one Polish collaborator who denounced people to the German authorities. He was sentenced by the undergound Polish army to death, but apparently he managed to escape. Do not know what happened to him, hope he got what he deserved.
one time, when my family was escaping the bombings, everyone got onto a carriage. One of the girls lost her doll and would not stop crying about it. Someone older, do not remember whether that was my grandfather, had to jump out of the carriage and get the doll. They made it to safety (with the doll!).
Also my Grandfather was healthy and young. Apparenty he was stopped by a German and made to dig his own grave. From what I overheard he managed to kill that German instead. Do not know more to this story, overheard my uncle (his son) telling it. Grandpa never spoke of war.
My mom only caught him once, during the night, reading a book about the WW2, or poems, and he was crying his heart out.
After the war, more people lost their lives. My grandma and her friends knew this young, strapping manm, who came to the village to help in getting rid of the mines. He lost his life on the minefield. The girls would adorn his grave with flowers for years after, but now his grave is unmarked, as one of the priests, later, sold his cemetery quarter to some other family.
So this are some stories I rember, do not know why I wrote this down. Maybe it is a small attempt to save them from being erased from history.
Greetings to everyone who read that and good wishes to all the Israelis.
Thank you for this. Such extra knowledge is really, really appreciated.
The germans are monsters!
Thank you for recognizing those people who most never knew by name, the effects of their actions live on.
Thank you for this. My father lived in warsaw when the invasion occurred in September 1939. He was of the Mucha family. He and his mother, Helena, were sent to forced labour one in Feucht, and one to Ravensbrück and then onto Sachsehsusen. My father was only 16 years old when he was sent to forced labour. I font know what happened to his mother, Helena, after she was put on the Sachesehsusen transport in December 1944. I'm still trying to discover this aspect. It's not easy.
Remarkable story thank you for sharing.
Very important video, thank you. My family suffered a lot during II WW, just like all Polish families. I was in Berlin this year, visited Memorial to Holocaust Victims. I was shocked that Polish nation was not listed ...
I am also. Poland was the first country the Nazis unleashed their horrifying actions upon and to not mention Poland in a memorial is disgraceful. But, everything the nazis did was beyond disgusting.
Nazi trash is german@@Halo17
Shouldn’t keep calling them nazis they were Germans and ordinary people who committed evil ,I wonder what they told there kids !!
I know a friend of mine I used to work with in the early 90s, was a Polish survivor. Also ended up in Auschwitz camp as a young person.
If you still can, you should try to ask for a little bit of your friends story. Even if your friend doesn't want to go into details, if (he or she) can give just the important information, you then can give testimony for your friend. My father and his siblings left Poland some years before second world war started, but they still had some family still living in Poland, much like some Jewish families had done. Some left before the war, some left just before borders were closed, and some (if lucky) were able to escape. This is kind of what was going on with my father's family, and no doubt my mother's family also as she is also Polish. Father, Polish born, & mother American born, but her mother & father were both Polish born. Anyway, I was just saying if you can still collect a few crucial bits of information, you can give testimony for your friend. Every bit Counts, its a bit more of "True History".
Primi ,se non sbaglio prigionieri in Auschwitz circa 800 erano Polacchi ,Ebrei dal 41 e loro andavano portati a Birkenau 3km da Auschwitz
poles working in nazi camps were complicit in helping germans. He shouldn't be anybody's friend
1 : 20 - approximately 4 and half millions Poles grabbed in the streets of Occupied Poland and sent to labor Camps in Germany !!!! Half of million did not survive !!! Many of them were so sick from hard work poor diet and living some of them died in Poland soon after they came home or on the way home !!!!! Some of them died a few years later !!!!! The same was with the people who had luck to come back home from Siberia but they died from health complications at home in Poland .

My mother was born in 1943 Poland and her parents, my grandparents when registering a new baby at the office could choose the baby's name only from the official list of names for Poles (stigmatising) provided by the Nazis. They chose Bożena and later went back asking if they could give the baby 2nd name of their choice but were refused and had to choose 2nd name also from the list - they chose Kazimiera for the second name. All the names on the list were archaic and not popular. My grandfather was a village baker and providing bread also for the German occupiers in the area so he was treated by the Germans with some respectability ( grandpa said once Germans were paranoid and afraid he could poison them if not treated right). But still he had to hide my mother when she was 2 and older - whenever Germans would visit and wanted a fresh loaf of bread. My mother had blond hair and blue eyes so she could be considered "Aryan looking" and therefore subject for kidnaping. Some 200 000 polish children were kidnapped from Poland and given to adoption for German childless couples. Only very few returned to Poland after the war.
I wish they were poisoned!
Finally, some fair assessment of the situation in German-occupied Poland. And all we've heard about the persecution of Jews is that Poles are considered accomplices to the Holocaust. Nevertheless, we know that the underground national army eliminated the szmalcownik, and they were in general contempt. Thank you for this material. Poles are not anti-Semitic, they only hurt injustice. Our slogan: "God, honor, Motherland." Let there be more of this in Israel and the Jewish community. Shalom.
Ciotka przechowywała Żydówkę z dzieckiem ta potem oskarżyła ja ze ukradła pierścionek, który zreszta przez te panią dany ciotce na zakup jedzenia, ciotka miała 2 malych dzieci.sami nie mieli co jeść. Mama i inni z rodziny jak mogli tak pomagali Mama podkradajac i wyrabiając ausweisy, nigdy nie zostali podani jako pomagający a przeciez ryzykowali życie. Niemcy rozstrzeliwali za taką pomoc! Nasz kraj tak zniszczony przez Niemców a teraz jak żądamy odszkodowania czytam drwiące artykuły w gazetach oskich! Ci ignoranci nic nie rozumieja..
The slogan of pre-war Poland was "For our freedom and yours" (Za naszą i waszą wolność). "God, honor, Motherland" came later.
Thank you for your research.
It is very heart breaking on 🇵🇱Poles to being falsely accused of being “perpetrators of Holocaust” while in reality 🇵🇱Poles has been a victims of German genocide.
True perpetrator was a 🇩🇪German state, and sad think is that people openly accepts manipulation like “Polish Death Camps” etc.
Well, as Polish born in traditionally antisemitic family I can’t agree with you. Of course Polish people were involved in the holocaust of Jews. For those exceptional heroes who decided to risk their lives to rescue their Jewish neighbours, it was other Poles and not Germans who were the greatest threat. The final phase of the Holocaust was when Jewish survivors returned to their homes once the Germans were no longer in Poland. At that time pogroms were sweeping through Poland, always under an invented pretext, mainly fake kidnapping of children. Many rescuers of Polish Jews such as Antonina Wyrzykowska were beaten and forced to leave their homes.

My grandmother hid and saved a group of Jews for a number of months in the village of Kalinowka near Lublin and just a few kilometers from the concentration camp of Majdanek. Some of these Jews survived the war. One of them was Moshe Grync. After the war he left for Antwerp in Belgium where lived on Lamorinierestraat in the Jewish quarter and died, I believe, in 1970s. Those Jews never reported my grandmother to Yad Vashem, so she died in 1990s never recognized for her sacrifice and bravery. I have lived in the US for a few decades now. I have been verbally attacked by some Jews in New York City as someone (being Polish) supposedly complicit in German crimes towards Jews during IIWW. Go figure..
It seems the Jewish side is not very well informed about what really happened in Poland under the German occupation and more very informative education like this film is needed in Israel and Jewish communities around the world.
Ty dear soul for sharing this story with us. Your dear grandmother may not have been recognized by Yad Vashem but she was, more importantly, noticed by the dear Lord.
There is a lot of cases like this unfortunately
My wife’s uncle Polish Catholic taken for forced labor at age 14 in 41, murdered by Germans at Dachau in 45.
I'm So Sorry for your wife's family. Its what I had mentioned from before, "anyone" could be their target.. Polish people, a Catholic, or some other one besides Jewish, it didn't matter. Who they didn't murder outright, shot or gassed, they starved, hung, shot, or Worked to Death! My own opinion of reading these important testimonies and blogs on this website, is Hitler had some Lunacy demented idea about eliminating Jews. But the German people (with Hitlers brainwashing & promises), was trying to wipe-out "everyone else" who didn't fit into their elite few. They became a mindless, Bloodlust of people, the whole country, that spread their crazed frenzy throughout wherever Hitler gained more power and territory.. fueling this horror of murder on MORE... more territory for Their People, more of everything else which they took from the homes of the Jews, (including their homes), more personal items, like all they took off the "backs" of these poor innocent people they were killing. It came down to the German people wanting MORE! It was a Sorry time in this part of Europe, for sure. Hell on earth! Lets hope and Pray it never happens again.
My grandparents immigrated to the US before the start of WWII and the occupation of Poland. I have no idea what happened to the rest of their family that stayed in Poland. I’m lucky to be alive nonetheless.
My (Polish) father and his brothers immigrated to the US before wwII , they missed being in the midst of Germans/Nazis taking over Poland, however they all became citizens of the USA and so had to go back there and fight in the war. The tragic part is my father & his brothers (much like your story), they couldn't find out what happened to a lot of their family members.. including his elderly mother and younger brother. I have been trying to find some type of clues through geneology websites, but not much luck.
Also from east was Bolsheviks and UPA . For Poland geographical position is unenviable .
German terror, not Nazi terror. Ask anybody who survived the German terror if there were any Nazis back then during the war. There were just Germans.
true
Hitler plagiarised the Swastika. it was a religious symbol long before it became a hated flag.

@@georgeburns8447 Germany is once again the source of all the evil that plagues Europe. They initiated a great wave of Islamic immigration, they destroy Schuman's great idea of uniting the nations of Europe, they try to dominate Europe again, etc.
My great-grandparents were murdered by the Nazis in the early days of their occupation of Lithuania. They were sent to the Kovno/Kaunas Ghetto. I grew up in a Polish neighborhood, went to a Polish Catholic school, learned the Polish language and culture. I can’t imagine…
Thank you so much for sharing. I could really listen to Prof Dreifuss all day long. She teaches with so much enthusiasm and expertise. I always learn so much from these sessions.
I think Poland was the only country where the whole family faced capital punishment for ANY assistance given to a Jew. I wonder how the French, Belgians or other nationalities would behave under such circumstances. They did not experience the same persecution Poles did and yet they readily and willingly packed their Jews onto trains and sent them to concentration camps robbing them of their livelihood, too. Surely, there were people with low morals in Poland, so called "szmalcownicy", who would denounce their own mothers if given an opportunity, but the majority would risk their lives to help the Jews and many of these people paid the highest price.

In the village where my father was born there was one "szmalcownik". He got death penalty from Polish Underground Forces.

My grandfa, since he was captured right in the beginning of war, he survived several german camps, including Sztutowo and Treblinka. He had never received any proper compensation for what he had gone through. And I heard non a single story from him, about his time in camps. I can imagine why.
The more I think of whoopi goldberg remark that it has nothing to do with race.the more I feel disgusted.
Poland and israel should have sue "the view".
Whoopie Goldburg, I don't think she meant it the way how it sounded when she said it, because she was partially right.. she said it was a Human tragedy, a Human, and Humane People travesty.. firstly, but also a Race travesty and tragedy. It was Both. The Jews were the worse to get murdered. But Goldburg was looking at the whole picture of that timeline, of History as a whole. She should have 'expanded' on how she saw the Holocaust years. I believe She was thinking and then saying it was a "Mankind-against-Mankind", and she was correct. Are not Jews Humans. Yes. BUT, she should have clarified herself better. She did not say anything which took away from what happened back in the horrors of the Holocaust years. But this is My opinion. It was "both".
Please also do a video on the communist treatment of the Poles as well.
More than 30,000 of war Prisoners from ussr red army murdered by Poland government.
Κανείς δεν μιλάει ειδικά στην Ελλάδα για τα απάνθρωπα εγκλήματα των κομμουνιστών της Ελλάδας.....οι οποίοι και συνεργάστηκαν με τους Γερμανούς στον WW-2......
Great lecture, thank you.
After listening about the way the Polish people were treated, taken all their possessions, all their rights, sent to labour camp, and killed everyday, i would suggest that everyone actually did suffer enormously under the nazi.
You cannot compare how westen earurope where threaten to Poland. Just during warsaw Uprising more poles died then under 5 year of nazi occupation in france and belgium combined
And where no collabaration state like in western europe. We did participate in genocide of jews compared to france or belgium

@ccsworldaustralia 4332 - this front picture shows people in Bydgoszcz city of Poland 🇵🇱 in October 1939, during pacification of Poland 🇵🇱! Those people were stopped in a street / lapanka/ we can see they were going to work stopped and soon killed in execution style facing the wall of the building with their hands up !!!! This ONE was PART of DAILY Living In Occupied Poland almost till the end of WAR !!!!! Famous Butcher of Warsaw general KUTSCHERA in 1943 was killed by Polish Underground AK in the same fashion he was killing Poles in the street !!!!!!
Nonsense. There was a huge difference in the conditions of occupation of Poland and, for example, Western European countries.
In Poland, Poles were murdered non-stop during executions, and entire villages were pacified.
In Western Europe, such situations were huge exceptions
I once counted the pages (not places, but pages) with the places where Poles were executed. There were 147 of them and they did not include places that were Polish territories before the war and after WW II went to the Soviet Union, i.e. about 1/3 of the pre-war Polish territories

This video is very true. The history of these tragedies is common for Jewish and Polish nations. We also have a long tradition of living side by side. There should be no disputes and fights between us, we should work together, respecting each other's culture and habits. Both nations would be stronger and profit greatly then.
It would be useful for the present Canadian Government to view this video. They MAY learn something of the Second world war?...Their recent dishonour of the many brave Canadian soldiers who lost their lives is breath taking...!

He spent about a year there and altough he lived to see the liberation, he died shortly after the war due to ruined health. He was 23 years old.

My father served in U.S. Army Intelligence in WW II. He shared many things before his death. He opined that : " Because of the Holocaust, every able bodied Jew, World wide, should own & know how to use a rifle. --The Holocaust could not have happened if the Jews where as well armed as the Swiss."
Спасибо вам! Пытаюсь понять как все происходило, а вы поделились отрывками воспоминаний о родных.
Our Polish Jews are greatly missed in Poland. Shevah Weiss said that Poland would have a dozen or so more Nobel Prize winners. There was an action organized by the performer Rafał Betlejewski called "I miss you, Jew".
It lies somewhere in the Pole's heart. When the film "Fiddler on the Roof" was broadcast for the first time in the Polish People's Republic, during the communist era, Polish viewers sent many letters to the television asking for a repeat. And this film was re-broadcast. It was the first such case in the Polish People's Republic.
In 2:24 east prussia was also german.

Hello, very important : Today 30. 9. 2023 on German TV news ARD 1 at 12.03 and later at 17.00 hours was shown a footage of german murderers in uniforms in babynyar walking towards victims who were actually all at least half dressed up and in some seconds starting shooting at them - while still walking towards them. Now THIS I have not seen before for sure. Were You informed of this new find ? Who knows how long it is it was shown like 10 seconds of it. This is now second like movie - originally filmed action os German murderers in second world war besides the one in Škede - Liepaja.

The only reason the Germans could do what they did was that they had the guns and the poles and Jews didn’t .If the poles and Jews were armed like the Texans history there would have been very different.
Actually, there was this thing called the Polish Army. It didn't help. I believe the Danes, Norwegians, Dutch, French, Yugoslavs, Greeks and Belgians also had armies. Also didn't help. If only they had a bunch of rednecks with guns.

I guess most Polish Jews would like to live in Poland, Rzeczpospolita, like before war then in today's Israel. At least they have good neighbours-Poles- around them. In Israel they have Palestinians, Persians, Arabs's " neighbours " around.
Jewish people were have been coming to Poland voluntary since centuries- to safe theirs live from Western's pogrom, to live better live, to pray theirs religion freely. Stateless people, which find good and safe home in Poland. They are Polish Jewish, Poland's documents holders, Polish citizens with Polish passports.
Alienating the Jewish out from Polish society and state is your history error. Same like alienation of 'Nazis' from German state and society, in terms it has been used.

Dlaczego ten w sutannie stoi!? po imprezie w Dąbrowie Górniczej chyba wiem dlaczego........................🙂
It wasn't bad, look what they doing so occupied Palestine 😂🎉 they're not bad.
Zionist and jew are not the same..The devil hides in religions
Every occasion of oppression is a blot on the conscience.
There is no comparison between Palestine and the Holocaust, yet this doesn't mean that the ill treatment of Palestinians shouldn't end.
I'll ask you to tell me the next time you find a mobile gassing-van in Gaza or the West Bank.
@@liammilliken3260 Murderers from IDF give each other high fives after they shoot Palestinian children throwing stones at them.
This is already too distant history and it is best to leave these matters to scientists. For ordinary people, these matters are of little interest. Let's deal with contemporary problems that are important for humanity, climate, illegal immigration, economic crisis, etc.
It is of interest to me. Survivors, refugees, and other victims of the Nazis still live. And many of the criminals are still with us.
@@MFPhoto1 I wrote that this is too distant history for ordinary people to be interested in it. There have been many such events in history, such as the Armenian Genocide. Not so long ago we witnessed genocide in Cambodia and Rwanda. The future is important and let's leave such distant history to historians. For me personally, it's getting boring, I change the TV channel when they start showing it.
@@Goldberg1234 All pale in comparison to the Nazi genocide. But you are getting boring as well, so all is equal.
@@MFPhoto1 Your problem is what do you want to be interested in, for young people this topic simply becomes boring and they are right. Our biological species is famous for staging holocausts. We are witnessing a paradoxical situation - the descendants of the victims are staging a holocaust against the Palestinian nation. They just reported on TV that the Israeli army murdered two Palestinians.
Don't be oblivious to reality. Learn from the past.
Nie pierdol o terroryzm niemieckim ty uświadomić świat i siebie o terroryzmie ukraińskim nad polakami . A w tym Oświęcimiu to ja nie wiem kto tak naprawdę był oprawca jestem pewna ze to był polski obóz zagłady po tym co się teraz dzieje i kim naprawdę jest polska no nie aniołem w bieli.
smutne jest to ,ze pisze to Polka...
I am sorry that i do not feel the same way. 😥
As much as the poles may have suffered by the occupying germans, the pole were very very antisemitic and dedicated collaborator with the germans. My Mother testified in her Oral History ( interviewed in the Spielberg program which is the Yad Vashem Archives) her experiences with the polish population before, during and after the Holocaust. Her mother and 2 teenage sisters were reported to the germans, by a polish farmer that had worked with her father. The farmer's reward was a kilo of sugar.
Sadly, having been raised without grandparents or aunts & uncles, and tens of other family members ( all documented in Yas veShem) i cannot share your opinion.
Praying for a more peaceful world.🤗
What does it mean that Poles were very anti-Semitic? All? The vast majority just wanted to survive. And it's hard to blame them. Few people are born heroes. Such an approach is simple anti-Polonism
So sorry for your family's loss. Yes, There had been cases of unspeakably despicable behavior.
But the acts of selfless heroism far outnumber them.
Consider the circumstances, where even a glass of water given to a fleeing Jew could get you and your entire family executed.
The Polish Underground Home Army issued death sentences to anyone selling out the Jews.
That stands in stark contrast to other occupied countries. German penalties in those places weren't as severe and the local governments willingly collaborated in sending entire Jewish communities to their deaths.
I was wondering, in the context of WW2, if you can give me an example of situation where Jews helped/ risked there life for a Poles? because there are the whole Polish families killed by German for helping Jews. The whole Polish families perish, no survivors.
Yes, lets pray for more peaceful world..

@user-oe9iu4gr4p My Polish great-aunt was in the Polish Home Army and was denounced by a relative, who was married to a Ukrainian, for helping Jewish people. That woman was jealous because the Jewish person left a quilt with my great-aunt and that relative also covered my great-aunt's barn. The Germans came in the middle of the night for my great-aunt, her husband and young son. They were tipped off and fled. Their house was destroyed. The jealous relative got the barn. The last laugh was on her. Because their Polish village ended up in Russia and she had to flee too.
MY NEIGHBOR VISITED THE POLISH DEATH CAMPS LAST SUMMER; SHE SAID IT WAS A VERY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE THAT SHE WILL NEVER FORGET. VERY MATURE MATERIAL FOR ADULTS ONLY BUT SHE FELT HER CHILDREN SHOULD SEE AND LEARN FROM IT AS WELL.
,,polish death camps" ?!
I hope you mean nazi germany death camps in occupied Poland...
The Polish Death Camps? You are wrong. The German Death Camps.
