History /
Terrible past for the Jews in Poland? [930]
@Lyzko
I can agree with his statement regarding antisemitism (there was a lot of conflict regarding Jews in Poland), problem is. The second anybody uses that word. One would automatically think in the categories of German, French or Russian type of antisemitism which simply is not true. The degree was severely different, state funded actions minimal (compared to mentioned states) and Poland's policy overall minuscule at best and heavily restricted due to foreign invasions and occupations.
Besides, Polish far right groups were more concerned about Soviets (regardless of nationality) and German state. usually when acts against Jews were found in Poland (which Pawian pointed out) it's in context with Soviet collaboration. (Which was treason and any Polish citizen risked punishment for it).
Difference is that Nazi Germans looked upon Jews purely biologically/racially and had an aim to exterminate Jews.
While Polish far right were more preoccupied with keeping Polish society in check as much as possible and keep on the struggle, weeding out anyone who would be against continued fighting (especially those collaborating with Nazi-Germany or Soviet Union as it would mean the death of Poland as we know it, which was unacceptable).
Polish peasants on the other hand were their own political entity, even had own partisan group and political organisation.
I advice you to remember that, Polish underground movement wasn't very coherent and most cared about saving their own skin regardless of nationality or feeling a strong bond towards one's own nationality.
Due to differences, the boundaries were different and lies were told within all groups at that time too
