The Ressistance

[
I agree with you about Warsaw, it was an atrocity, but I do not like the way the Poles acted during the war. They actively killed jews and continued to do so after Hitler's defeat. What the Poles did to the jews is a stain to the Polish Flag, as is what the Austrians did.

You forgot the communists who I wouldn't exactly call a small fringe group. The communists were a big part of France before and during occupation.



Two wrongs don't make a right, and to go on with the cliches-let's not mix apples with oranges..

The point about small minorities in either end of the political specter was made by Olphus in his film..(he has no ax to grind...(he's a German Jew)and l think the point was well made.-as was the earlier remark about forced labor: the Ressistance in France was small, but their numbers increased as more and more slave laborers were sent to Germany....a point one of my late professors in college (a French Jew, who loked rather like Peter Sellers with a van Dyke beard joined the Ressistance in 1943) often made to us in class.(and afterwards, at a local bar..where he shared many a glass of whiskey or beer with his students) .and he had good reason to know.. he witnessed these events first hand
