Dachau at liberation
Pile Of Bodies At Dachau --Yad Vashem Archives

"When the first GI's [American soldiers] started returning home from the war [after liberating Dachau and other camps],
one of the things that drove them crazy was that no one would believe what they had to say!
No one would believe the stories of what they saw."

Ike at Ohrdruf

.On the Extermination of Jews in Poland

Pope John II
. We wish to remember.
But we wish to remember for a purpose, namely
to ensure that never again evil will prevail. ...
Only a world at peace, with justice for all,
can avoid repeating the mistakes and terrible crimes of the past.
.John Paul II, Yad Vashem, March 23, 2000.

Polish Jewish Family -the Rotmenschs
A Polish Jewish Family (The Rotmenschs)
--wife, children and grandchildren with armbands
In order to mark and isolate the Jews, a decree of November 23, 1939, ordered all Jews above the age of 10 in the General-Government of Poland to wear white armbands with a blue star of David.
From Yad Vashem Archives
<www1.yadvashem.org/exhibitions/Wolbrom/holocaust/during_c.htm>

Gone now are those little towns where the shoemaker was a poet,
The watchmaker a philosopher, the barber a troubadour.

Gone now are those little towns where the wind
joined Biblical songs with Polish tunes and Slavic rue
Where old Jews in orchards in the shade of cherry trees
Lamented for the holy walls of Jerusalem.

Gone now are those little towns, though the poetic mists,
The moons, winds, ponds, and stars above them
Have recorded in the blood of centuries above the tragic tales,
The histories of the two saddest nations on earth.

Polish Jewish poet Antoni Sonimsk 



"Our Jewish neighbors were murdered in a bestial way"
Polish Prime Minister Marek Belka

"We can't tell two stories, the history of Poland and the history of the Jews,
because simply they exist together and they must be told together..."
Ewa Junczyk-Ziomecka

Of all the occupied countries,
the percentage of Jews saved in Poland was the smallest,
since the predominant attitude was hostile, while rescue was an exception to the rule.
[Isaiah Trunk]
