A large proportion of such information is supported in a dishonest way by the authority of Simon Datner – one of the initiators of Holocaust studies. In a manner far from scientific scrupulousness, certain numeric data on Jews murdered outside the ghettos is attributed to his works, whereas in reality he never included such data in them. Furthermore, Datner – like any responsible researcher – understood perfectly well that the territory of the Polish lands, both within the ghettos organised by the Germans and outside those ghettos, was under German occupation and was subjected to the absolute terror of the German Reich. Therefore, Datner did not treat the areas under German occupation outside the ghettos as places where the Polish population could act freely. Quite the opposite – as someone who experienced this period personally, he understood the realities of German occupation perfectly well, and described them with due sensitivity. In the often-cited article “Nazi crimes against ghetto escapees”, S. Datner wrote: “In one of the studies, I estimated the number of surviving Jews, saved primarily thanks to the help of the Polish population, at around 100,000 people. -

The 2015 Auschwitz-Trial of Lüneburg
Human Rights III, Spring 2016 Astrid Juckenack (930613-T005) The 2015 Auschwitz-trial of Lüneburg: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Collective Memory of the Holocaust in Nazi-trials in Modern-day Germany. Author: Astrid Juckenack Malmö Högskola Human Rights III; MR106L Spring 2016 Supervisor: Malin Isaksson 1 Human Rights III, Spring 2016 Astrid Juckenack (930613-T005) Abstract The points of departure in this thesis are the reciprocal relationship between the memories of human rights violations, the application of the relevant law and the understanding of what is criminal, as well as the recent trend in German courts to belatedly try low-profile Nazi- criminals. To explore these phenomena further, a critical discourse analysis incorporating historical elements is conducted on the 2015 trial of “the bookkeeper of Auschwitz” Oskar Gröning and the related media-reports. By identifying and investigating the expression of collective memory therein, a shift is revealed in that low-level participation in the Holocaust is no longer remembered as a moral infringement exclusively, but accepted as a criminal act for which a perpetrator ought to be held liable. Alongside Holocaust-focused collective memory, there are further tendencies toward a distinct memory of the prolonged failure of the German judiciary. It was thus found that long-term societal change can prevail against a deeply ingrained culture of impunity.

Poles Under German Occupation the Situation and Attitudes of Poles During the German Occupation
Truth About Camps | W imię prawdy historycznej (en) https://en.truthaboutcamps.eu/thn/poles-under-german-occu/15596,Poles-under-German-Occupation.html 2021-09-25, 22:48 Poles under German Occupation The Situation and Attitudes of Poles during the German Occupation The Polish population found itself in a very difficult situation during the very first days of the war, both in the territories incorporated into the Third Reich and in The General Government. The policy of the German occupier was primarily aimed at the liquidation of the Polish intellectual elite and leadership, and at the subsequent enslavement, maximal exploitation, and Germanization of Polish society. Terror was conducted on a mass and general scale. Executions, resettlements, arrests, deportations to camps, and street round-ups were a constant element of the everyday life of Poles during the war. Initially the policy of the German occupier was primarily aimed at the liquidation of the Polish intellectual elite and leadership, and at the subsequent enslavement, maximal exploitation, and Germanization of Polish society. Terror was conducted on a mass and general scale. Food rationing was imposed in cities and towns, with food coupons covering about one-third of a person’s daily needs. Levies — obligatory, regular deliveries of selected produce — were introduced in the countryside. Farmers who failed to deliver their levy were subject to severe repressions, including the death penalty. Devaluation and difficulty with finding employment were the reason for most Poles’ poverty and for the everyday problems in obtaining basic products. The occupier also limited access to healthcare. The birthrate fell dramatically while the incidence of infectious diseases increased significantly. -

Druga Rzeczpospolita
N r 1 2 11 listopada 2015 Druga Rzeczpospolita SZKOLNA GAZETKA ZZSP IM. JANA PAWŁA II E –mail: [email protected] www.zzsp.miasto.zgierz.p l S t r . 2 11 listopada 2015 Droga do niepodległej Polski 11 listopada stał się datą symboliczną oznaczającą odzyskanie przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 roku po 123 latach niewoli. Przyjazd Józefa Piłsudskiego do Warszawy i przekazanie mu pełni władzy wojskowej i cywilnej przez Radę Regencyjną zbiegło się przypadkowo w czasie z podpisaniem rozejmu w Compiegne , kończącego działania militarne na frontach I wojny świato- wej. 10 listopada 1918 r. zwolniony z więzienia w Magdeburgu został Józef Piłsudski . Na dworcu w Warszawie, dokąd przyjechał ok. 7 rano, nie było tłumów, bo jego przyjazd nie był pu- blicznie zapowiedziany. Piłsudskiego witali: regent, ks. Zdzisław Lubomirski, komendant naczel- ny POW Adam Koc i kilka innych osobistości. Piłsudski pojechał od razu, w towarzystwie Koca, na "herbatę" do księcia Lubomirskiego w jego domu przy Frascati. Według wspomnień księżny Marii Lubomirskiej jej mąż przekonywał Piłsudskiego, że "on jeden Polskę zbawić potrafi w tym historycznym momencie". Według relacji księcia (jednej z dwóch) Piłsudski chciał od razu jechać do Lublina, gdzie 6-7 listopada powstał wybitnie lewicowy Tymczasowy Rząd Ludowy Republiki Polskiej z Ignacym Daszyńskim na czele i Rydzem-Śmigłym jako ministrem wojny. Piłsudski mó- wił: "Jest to rząd mój, rząd moich przyjaciół". Wysłuchał argumentacji Lubomirskiego, że rząd ten jest partyjny, a nie ogólnonarodowy i powiedział: "Tak, ale jest on na wolnej ziemi". Na to Lubo- mirski wyraził przekonanie, że lada dzień cała ziemia będzie wolna. Piłsudski mruknął: "No, ja zobaczę". 11 listopada o godzinie 11, w wagonie kolejowym w Compiegne we Francji podpisano za- wieszenie broni na froncie zachodnim.
