Jew Killing WWII By Poles 200,000 Fake News Nixed Gutman

Unequal Victims: Poles And Jews During World War Two, by Israel Gutman, Shmuel Krakowski

Inadvertently But Soundly Discredits Jan T. Gross’ and Jan Grabowski “200,000 Fugitive Jews Killed By Poles” Fantastic Numbers

Szmuel Krakowski had been a long-term Jewish Communist functionary in Soviet-ruled Poland. Most of this book consists of the standard Polonophobic memes on Poles and Jews, moreover expressed in a rather strident manner. For this reason, in presenting the information in this book, Krakowski cannot be suspected of trying to make the Poles look good. If anything, it is the opposite.

THE MEDIA NARRATIVE ON JEWISH SURVIVORSHIP IN GERMAN-OCCUPIED POLAND

In recent years, Jan T. Gross and Jan Grabowski vel Abrahamer have been going around stating that, whereas some 40,000—60,000 fugitive Jews survived German-occupied Poland, that was only out of some 160,000—250,000 Jews that had initially fled the ghettos. This would mean that 120,000—210,000 of these Jews perished, presumably largely at the hands of Poles. The media has been promoting these numbers as fact.

SO WHICH IS IT: 3,000 or 210,000?

Author Shmuel Krakowski, an archivist at Yad Vashem, admits that many accounts of Poles killing or denouncing Jews cannot be corroborated. He cautions that, “Of this, the figure of over 3,000 Jews whom Poles (UNDER VARYING CIRCUMSTANCES) either murdered or turned over to the Germans CAN BE CONSIDERED RELIABLY AUTHENTICATED on the basis of the existing sources.” (p. 238; Emphasis added.)

So what does this 3,000 mean? Either Krakowski is a very-inadequate archivist that has overlooked a staggering volume of information, or there have been truly-spectacular, massive discoveries of previously-unsuspected archival sources since this book was published (1986). Or…Gross and Grabowski vel Abrahamer are fibbing big time about their highly-touted astronomical figures for Jew-killings by Poles. [Interestingly, Poland’s Rabbi Michael Schudrich recently (2018) spoke of 2,500 fugitive Jews denounced or killed by Poles.]

Interestingly, Barbara Engelking, in her recent work, [[ASIN:9653085417 Such a Beautiful Sunny Day… – Jews Seeking Refuge in the Polish Countryside, 1942-1945]], struggles to reach a total of 5,000 Polish-denounced and killed Jews, and yet even this modest number admittedly includes unverified and duplicate accounts.

BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

It is a long, long way from the 3,000—5,000 presumably verified denounced/killed Jews to Gross’ and Grabowski’s 120,000—210,000 voodoo number for denounced/killed Jews. The media should finally get its facts straight, and stop taking Gross and Grabowski seriously, much less worthy of awards and adulatory coverage. Then again, since larger numbers make for a better Jewish-victimization anti-Polish story, what do the facts matter?
