Day of the German

 

Well, ok on some universities Jewish students were not allowed to sit together with Polish but it is still nothing compared to "CRISTAL NIGHT"

 

The difference is that in Poland people who were attacking Jews and their property were going to jail and Polish prisons were full of national democrates - the right wing party.

 

Massacre in Jedwabne happend in German occupied Poland and German authorities were trying to antagonize Polish population against the Jews. Poles who killed Jews were not persecuated by the German law. Whats more, Poland was the only country in occupied Europe where for saving the Jew or hiding him, Germans were killing not only the person who was helping the Jew but also whole his familly and all the people who were living in the same house. It didnt stop tens of thousands of Poles who were helping Jews and thousands were murdered by Germans for it.

 

What more, Polish resistance movement, the biggest organised underground force in Europe, known also as "secret state" which had its own administration, underground universities and courts, was sentencing to death every Pole who denounced Jew to Germans, attacked Jew or robbed him. Polish secret state also investigated holocaust and reported it to western allies as well as did a lot to help the Jews. Poles also had many secret organistations which were helping the Jews like for example ZEGOTA:

 

 

Nah, you want to make equal this what Germans were doing with this what Poles were doing, compare somthing what is incomparable.

The completelly different thing is the policy of extermination conducted by German state and criminal acts of individual people. Not to mention the fact that many of those individuals were being encouraged to do so by the German state and when commited criminal act, were not punished for it by Germans but even rewarded. In opposite - Polish underground state was punishing those Poles who commited criminal acts against the Jews.

 

List of Poles who denounced Jew to Germans, sentenced for death in Warsaw by Polish undergound state and executed in year 1941:

 

Bogusław alias Borys Pilnik,

Antoni Rozmus - commander of polish criminal police platoon

Jan Grabiec,

Wacław Noworolny,

Tadeusz Stefan Karcz,

Franciszek Sokołowski,

Antoni Pajor,

Janusz Krystek,

Jan Lakiński

Bolesław Szostak,

Antoni Pietrzak.

 

In case if prolonged law suit could cause danger for life of hiding Jews or the people who were hiding them, Polish underground forces were allowed to imidatelly execute suspected person without the court sentence. For example commander of underground partisan unit Witold Rudnicki ordered to execute without court sentence 4 men who were trying to get monay from group of Jews for not denouncing them to Germans in the area of village Pustelnik near Warsaw.

So what are you comparing Beorna? The state that murdered the millions of Jews with the state that was protecting them even if had to kill its own countrymen?

 

I can read. Your message is not a new one, iv seen it before. It moreless goes like this: We Germans did evil things but we apologised for it. Others like Poles did bad things but didnt apologised for it. We Germans werent worse than others were, especially Poles. We did persecuated Jews before the war but so did the Poles and some other nations.

 

In this light you convince yourself that others are as guilty as your own nation. But the main difference is that your nation outlawed the Jews long before the war while in other coutries they were protected by the law until Germany occupied them. The difference is that others like tens thousands of Poles risked their own lifes and lifes of their famillies to save Jews from Germans while Germans were rewarding every Pole who denounced Jew and murdering everyone who didnt together with his familly. Whats more, many of those nationalistic antisemitic Poles who before the war were descriminating Jews, during the war was helping them. Just read the momeoirs of many of holocaust survivors who were hidden by people considered as anti-semites.

 

 

In fact if i were you, i would feel ashamed for posting such things. You Germans can apologize for yoursel but dont dare to tell the others what is right and what is wrong.
