So Poles got what was coming to them ? 1.5 million loaded into cattle cars and shipped to Siberia. 3 million killed by the Nazis and Soviets. Jakub Berman hunting down and killing perhaps 30,000 Poles who fought in the resistence.

No love was lost between the Jews and the Polish Resistance. The latter invariably KILLED any Jews they came across in the forests who might have evaded the German roundups. They also BETRAYED to the Nazis many of the Resistance units that were Jewish. Escaped Jews soon learned that to survive they had to make contact with the Russian Resistance units, which accepted them.

By the way, there were Poles who took considerable risks to save Jews. A family of four that I know, cousins, were hidden out by a Polish farmer in his barn for the entire duration of the war. The guy had guts.
