Webinar Summary

“Complicity in the Holocaust” is a vague, finger-pointing accusation. There is a campaign aimed at shifting Holocaust blame from the Germans to the Poles. The new lie about 200,000 Jews murdered by Poles resembles old Jewish tales of terrible pogroms.

The Jews were not at the mercy of the Poles! German military police patrolled the countryside and killed most of the fugitive Jews. Most of these German killings were not recorded.

The Blue Police were not collaborators: only 4% of police officers were convicted of collaboration. JUDENJAGD (hunt for Jews) is an Orwellian term invented to dramatize the Holocaust: neither the Germans nor the Poles used such a term!

Perhaps 5,000 Jews were killed by Poles for various reasons – justified or unjustified (archival data). The Holocaust was a very specific event (the elimination of European Jews by Hitler). Since Jews tend to include Polish actions in the Holocaust, any such claims must be supported by hard evidence from Jewish accusers. Therefore, a Pole who even wrongfully killed a Jew must be rejected as an “accomplice to the Holocaust” unless it is ultimately proven that he acted specifically in solidarity with Hitler.

Poles did not have the freedom to deal with fleeing Jews as they pleased! Poles were forced to betray or kill fleeing Jews under the auspices of the German-established village security system – under threat of death or concentration camp. Jewish banditry and the betrayal of rescuers were additional justified reasons why Poles sometimes killed fleeing Jews.

The Germans were absent? It didn’t matter: Polish hostages in German hands could be shot for noncompliance. German terror was an everyday occurrence: the Germans were known to have murdered Polish villagers in at least 1,300 Polish villages.

The August trials of collaborators [a communist parody of justice] were distorted by the Holocaust establishment to blame Poles anew: they include blatant falsification of archival data and obvious fabrications by Jewish accusers.

Keeping score? Jews killed more Poles than Poles killed Jews.
