Vandals in Poland have defaced a monument marking the spot in Poland where hundreds of Jews were massacred during World War II.

They wrote on the memorial's walls: "I'm not sorry for Jedwabne" and "They were highly flammable".

Swastikas were also drawn on the monument.

The monument remembers the victims of the attack on 10 July 1941, when some 340 Jews were rounded up and led to a barn, which was then set alight.

"This is a perfect example of vandalism and stupidity, but we don't know the exact motives yet," said Andrzej Baranowski, police spokesman in the nearby city of Bialystok.

The incident is the latest in series of recent anti-Semitic and xenophobic acts, reports say.

Before World War II, Poland was home to about 3.5 million Jews, the largest Jewish community in Europe.

Some 90% of them were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

A government investigation confirmed Poles - and not Nazi Germans - were to blame for the Jedwabne killings.

This is a perfect example that Poland hasn't changed it's Nazi ways and the motive was and always has been Anti - Semitism.

I heard that Nazis considered Poles as "untermensch" as well. Poles were the only nation which was barred from joining waffen-SS forces.

My mothers side of the family emigrated from Poland in the early 1900s. They got out just in time to avoid the horrors of WWII... Baruch Hashem both sides of my family fled their mother-lands just in time to avoid the extermination of Jews in Europe.

POLAND'S HOLOCAUST: 6 MILLION CITIZENS DEAD
(3 MILLION CHRISTIANS and 3 MILLION JEWS)
by Edward Lucaire

The best-kept secret in the U.S. about the Holocaust is that Poland lost six million citizens or about one-fifth of its population: three million of the dead were Polish Christians, predominantly Catholic, and the other three million were Polish Jews. The second best-kept secret of the Holocaust is the greatest number of Gentile rescuers of Jews were Poles, despite the fact that only in Poland were people (and their loved ones) immediately executed if caught trying to save Jews. The Yad Vashem museum in Israel honors "the Righteous Among the Nations" and Poland ranks first among 40 nations with 5,503 men and women, almost one-third of the total, honored for their "compassion, courage and morality" and who "risked their lives to save the lives of Jews."

3 million Polish Jews that constitute 90% of the Jews in Poland were murdered and perhaps 2 to 3 millions of Polaks died of various reasons. It is likely that out of the total reported number of deaths in Poland the number actually include Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Ethnic Germans and other minorities as well.
Pre WWII Poland occupied parts of today's Lithuania, Belarus, and The Ukraine. It had a population of almost 35 million people. During WWII The Polaks, Lithuanians  and The Ukrainians were fighting amongst themselves and all collaborated with the Nazis when it came to exterminating the Jews.

Polaks

That's exactly what most of the Poles are even though one of my best friends is Polish and I call him that sometimes.

Baruch Hashem my mothers Polish Jewish family left Poland before the Holocaust. The Jewish people were persecuted in every country of Europe. Baruch Hashem we are alive today.
