Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was one of the most remarkable acts of resistance in World War II, a period when the almost 1,000-year-old history of Polish-Jewish relations underwent its most severe test.
Recently I watched the movie Poklosie ("Aftermath"), a fictional thriller that told the story of a Polish man who returns to his hometown and discovers a dark secret about its past.
During the war, at the instigation of the Nazis, local people, including his own father, rounded up the town's Jews, locked them in a building and set it on fire.
In the last 10 years or so it has become widely known that massacres like this actually happened in several Polish towns, most notably in Jedwabne, north-eastern Poland, where Poles at the instigation of the Nazis murdered more than 300 Jews.The film's lead actor, Maciej Stuhr, was called a "Polish traitor", a "Jew" and "Adolf Hitler" on Internet forums. Its producer, Dariusz Jablonski, said he made the movie because he believes film is a good platform to raise this issue, especially with younger people.
During communist times Poles were told that Poles were always the noble knights of the Second World War. They told that they were either victims or they fought against the Nazi occupation and were saving Jews. As in the life of any family, society or nation there are black holes along with the positive stories. This was the Poland’s black hole.
