"when the same Poles were making jokes about Jews being fried alive"

Where did you get it from? You mean probably the same Polish insurgents, who liberated Jewish concetration camp in Warsaw called "Gesiowka" and saved many Jews (mainly from Greece).

Read more or think twice, neither one hurts.

I know enough to smell bullsh*t.

This is the quote from Simon Wiesenthal"The Armia Krajowa was an underground fighting organization which operated in Poland from 1939 to 1945. It carried out armed raids, bombed railway shipments and participated in partisan fights against Nazis. In Feb. 1942, it created a Section for Jewish Affairs which collected data about the Jews. It provided little practical help to the Jewish underground."

On the other hand, Armiya Ludowa was ready to help Jews ( "Encyclopedia of the Holocaust" ):"Several units of Jewish partisans, which had initially operated independently, joined the ranks of the Gwardia Ludowa and the Armia Ludowa. "

Survival rate for Polish Jews was 1% - the lowest among countries occupied by Nazis. For comparison, in France it was 75%. While Poles did not actively killed Jews - with few exceptions (Jedbawneh) - they did not help them either.

And it is all too well known that Jews were killed in Poland after the war (Kielce). In the 60's practically all remaining Polish Jews were expelled.
