During World War II, the majority of Poles, absorbed by the hardship of their daily lives in the country under German occupation, remained passive in the face of the Holocaust. There were also those who showed hostility towards Jews. Few helped them. The rescuers acted in extremely difficult conditions – in full conspiracy, in fear of the Germans and their own neighbours. How many Poles helped Jews during the Holocaust? How many rescuers were murdered by the Germans? We present Polish and Jewish accounts on the Holocaust from the oral history collection of POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
