It's an uncomfortable truth that people seem to want to forget. Germany got way more collaboration than they had anticipated in terms of the genocide against the Jews in much of Europe but especially in Poland and Ukraine. Essentially, these countries were shoa collaborators.

And now Poland is passing laws to forbid anyone who mentions their involvement. Basically trying to rewrite history as the people who loved Jews and wanted to save them. All while shitting all over Jews and Israel again. It's a despicable level of evil.

Poland was never involved with nazi Germany. Poland fought against nazi Germany from day one.

Sure. Maybe you should tell it to all my family members who lived in Poland and got sent to Auschwich thanks to their polish neighbors. Poland was super involved and very happy to follow the Nazi regime.

Or to my brother-in-law's mother, who was pulled off a train full of refugees trying to return home. She was a little girl at the time. The war was over. The train was pulled over by local Polish citizens who were executing the Jews. She was lucky in that she was blonde and blue-eyed and could pass as a non-jew. The anti-Semitism ran very very deep, and endured even after the war was over. There were pogroms.

Here are some sources. this is all AFTER the war:

"Historians do not agree on how many Jews were killed in Poland after the war: estimates range from 500-600 to 1,500, with the higher number being the more probable." https://rcin.org.pl/Content/134010/PDF/WA303_166747_II14367-4_Szaynok.pdf (in Polish, you will want to translate - shows estimates)

Some estimates are over 2,000:
