Terror in Occupied Poland

[@waterlily9601]

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

[@DR-nc4kc]

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. ❤

[@helenh493]

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.

[@iguanatrader3781]

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.

[@Caramuel]

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.

[@quaver1239]

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.

[@ChairmanPaulieD]

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

[@blurrpp314]

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmjCpqulaJdqopI

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.

[@bugsygoo]

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.

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.

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.

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.🤗

[@arturwesoowski6522]

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

[@paulrockatansky77]

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.

[@uhmjules5236]

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.

@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.
