Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [623]
I think he has two computers.
The Jewish Order Police and the Polish "Blue" Police played a key role in the smuggling carried out through the walls. The Jewish policemen found it to be a profitable business, whilst the Polish police, were also able to make a profit out of the smuggling."
So? Without smuggling the people would have starved. And where would the Jews get their weapons for their riot in April 1943?
It is claimed that the Polish Blue Police were forced to collaborate with the Germans or face death but there is no documenatry evidence to support this claim.
You are sad. Did you come up with that one all by yourself? Try this:
In October 1939, General Governor Hans Frank ordered the mobilization of the pre-war Polish police into the service of the Germans. The policemen were to report for duty or face the death penalty.[3]

It should be noted that some officers of the Polish Blue police were awarded the Righteous Among the Nations award for their help in rescuing Polish Jews.
Yes it should. Also:
A significant part of the police personnel belonged to the Polish underground resistance organization Armia Krajowa[15], mostly in the counter-intelligence of the Home Army and the National Security Corps.[16] Some estimates are as high of 50%.[17] Blue Police followed German orders reluctantly[18][11] and that the officers had little choice but to obey their orders or face death.[8] The Blue Police often disobeyed German orders or even acted against them[11], and some of its officers were ultimately awarded the Righteous Among the Nations
The story of the 13's like that of the Polish Blue Police,
It isn't. 13 and Żagiew were Jewish Gestapo agents. Volunteers.

The group[4] vied for control of the ghetto with the Judenrat and infiltrated the Jewish opposition within the ghetto.[5]
A Jewish man recording events:
"Yesterday, the third of August they slaughtered Zamenhof and Pawia Streets. They did not confiscate houses, but blockaded the entire block for expulsion. The SS killers stood guard while the Jewish police worked inside the courtyards. This was a slaughter in proper style¬- they had no pity even on infants and nurslings. All of them, all, without exception, were taken to the gates of death." Scroll of Agony, p.398 ¬
"There is weeping and wailing in every house.
"At the beginning, the time of negotiations, a directive was issued to the Judenrat to deport 6,000 a day; in point of fact they are now deporting close to 10,000. The Jewish police, whose cruelty is no less than that of the Nazis, deliver to the Stawki Street more than the quota to which the Judenrat obligated itself." Scroll of Agony, p.384
"Sometimes there are several thousand people waiting a day or two to be transported because of the shortage of railroad cars. Word has gotten around that the Nazis are satisfied that the extermination of the Jews is being carried out with a requisite efficiency. Their deed is being done by the Jewish slaughterers." Scroll of Agony
Do they teach this in school?
