Sure, there were individual cases of "saving your own hide" and there were also plenty of individual cases of collaborators that did it for personal gain or because of a very widespread hatred of Jews in Poland that long predates any possible refusal by them to be conscripted to be cannon-fodder for people that treated them like shit for hundreds of years...
But that is really besides the point, because I wasn't taking about individual reasons why people might or might have not contributed to the (German led) extermination of Jews in Poland, but rather about the refusal by most Poles today to acknowledge that they did play a big role in that, and many did so very willingly.
Oh and the Polish (German etc.) communist had very little to do with the atrocities committed by the counter-revolutionary self-proclaimed "communists" around Lenin and thus definitely did not deserve to be slaughtered in concentration-camps regardless of what your personal stance on communism might be.
its all about the Jews. Because they are the only hated minority, right? Cry me a river. Go read (or watch) some history and you'll see that humans have been hating and terrorizing others humans since we walked on 2 legs. Oh, it was the 'real' communists who were good and not those fake communists...yeah...that sounds like what Christians say about 'real' and 'fake' Christians. Where is the litmus test????
