I know -- horrifying, right? How would we have acted in their shoes? It wasn't a simple case like the Dutch harboring Jews. Here if I didn't report a Jew, I would get my family shot. What a horrible position to be in.

I really wish that Israel would get out of this criticism of the law and say "Ok, you as a NATION didn't do it -- we know there were bad eggs and good eggs but you as a NATION are not to be blamed for Germany's crimes. There was a 1000 years of mostly peaceful history between the peoples. Let's forget and be friends today" - it would help a lot. Poland should reciprocate as well.

Exactly. We expect soldiers to act a certain way, since they are often trained to it, but...civilians are more likely to engage in behavior that will save their skin. Just trying to survive.

I know exactly what you mean. I did take issue with the premise of the article "...How Poles Are More Vilified as 'Bestial' Brute Jew Killers Than German Nazis Themselves..."

I just think that is wrong.
