I am going to post daily in remembrance of Poles saving Jews. Something today that is overlooked, discredited, and often purposefully ignored. I think it’s vital they should be memorialized especially now and remember there are tens of thousands of heroic and martyred Poles

Poland was the first to fight, never surrendered or collaborated. The Polish Defense War of 1939 was a great national effort. Poland was attacked on two fronts, outnumbered, betrayed, yet always resisted and fought for their freedom at all costs.

When people in the West think of the Holocaust, they almost always think of the Jews, 6 million specifically, yet millions more died; many don't know. 3 million ethnic Poles were murdered in the German genocide. This video explains the planned elimination of ethnic Poles.
