Hebrew might actually help, but exclusively, at a Holocaust research center, perhaps in Krakow, as someone else mentioned already.

@Rich, why do you hate the truth? You must, you know. You continue to fall into those same pitfalls of logic.
Or again, as with certain other posters here, you're simply brilliant, but merely play dumb in order to get attention!
Perhaps too, your English is actually excellent, but you've been holding out on us:-)

The Right loves the idea of having children, preaching some sort of moral and religious obligation to women to procreate.
Fine. However, we're no longer living in the days of "Little House on the Prairie" when small, faith-based communities throughout the Plains States, would support a struggling family.
Since the advent of Reagan and the gradual whittling away of the New Deal, the scenario has changed entirely.

Without visible means of support, how then is an American family to support children they can't afford, huh, smarty pants??

@Ironside,
You're aware of course, that the Germans then WEREN'T (perhaps even aren't now) Christians!
Whereas the rest of Europe underwent a religious, if not always spiritual, transformation prior to the rise of the Protestant Church, in Germany, all outpouring of spiritual values such as "All men are created equal (...in the eyes of G-d)" or "Love thy neighbor as thyself" essentially withered on the vine of local authority and the sort of grassroots Christianity that developed in the UK, the US, France, Italy, Spain and so forth was never allowed to blossom. Such was replaced by a harsh paganism, harking back to the Germanic deities, all but absorbed through the pores of Wagner, later devoured by the a majority of Nazi supporters.
Instead of the sacred writings of the early Church Fathers (all of whom were Jews, by the way), Germans were subverted by the writings of Kant with his unwavering obedience to the Highest Will, therefore ignoring the existence of empathy, of questioning authority), later by the irrationalism of the Romantic Age, later, by the biology of racism. I'm vulgarly simplifying here, of course.
Thus Hitler was not as much of a stretch of the German imagination as one might think.

Such valiant acts by gentile Poles towards Jewish fellow citizens, usually at gravest personal risk, both to themselves as well as their families, should vanquish all naysayers, sadly many from the world Jewish community, who have shamefully branded all Poles as unrepenitant anti-Semites!!
May such people well ask themselves if they would have acted with such valor if the tables were turned.

When you state " Since Poles generally only click with non-Poles...".
I can't agree entirely.
I've found a strong degree of homogeneity in Polish society, particularly with Poles in Polish communities in the US who tend, as all national groups, to stick together through thick and thin, rarely if ever allowing outsiders to eve truly enter the fold!
However, if by "click" you mean that many younger Poles in Poland especially tend to purposely seek out non-Poles, almost exclusively from exotic countries such as North Africa, Latin America or Asia, as partners (either sexual or Platonic) in order to show they are as multi-cultural as anybody else, you definitely do have a point.

PUTIN is a cancer on Wester Civilization, agreed Marion. However, why allow one or perhaps several rotten apples to destroy the entire bumper crop of pre-Soviet culture which has given us the likes of Lobachewski, Tschaikowsky, Gorki, Dostoyewsky, Tolstoy, Mendelejeff, along with a host of others??
HITLER too was a cancer, maybe the worst malignancy in human history, granted. But does that mean we stop listening to Wagner, Beethoven, Strauss, quit reading Kepler, Planck, Oberth, or close our eyes, minds and hearts to Grunewald, Duerer, Goethe, Rilke or Fontane?
Leave us all kindly not throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Columbus was NOT half-Polish!
"Spoiling" the atmosphere or roiling the waters is nowhere near as unfair as masking the truth.
Once the Wall fell, Russians, Poles, Bulgarians etc. all streamed into the West, desperately trying to do business with their richer counterparts. They couldn't get enough of capitalism, which is why they became such post-Reaganist Trump supporters!!
Look at the first McDonald's in Russia in Tverskaya, Moscow, opened in the early '90's! Later followed stores devoted to Western brand names, such Dior etc..

Russia has seen herself traditionally as apart from Europe proper, again, preferring to be called "Eurasian" instead of either European or Asian!
Unlike Poland, The Czech Republic or Slovenia, she continues to resist various Western European trends, both the Christian religion as practiced in Catholic countries (preferring to follow the Russian Orthodoxy, much like Greece). along with the Latin alphabet.
From Peter The Great up through the current "Czar Vladimir", Russian along with Soviet leaders, regarded themselves in essence as sworn enemies of the West.
Therein in a nutshell lies the difficulty.
