Jüdische Gemeinden in Polen im Jahr 2021

Fascinating how 17,156 people managed to hide from every census taker until 2021. Either Poland’s got stealth-mode Jewish communities or someone finally discovered the „unmute“ button after decades.

Those geographic clusters look like someone played a very serious game of demographic Battleship and apparently Mazovia won.

The Nazis had easy game in Poland… many didnt liked Jews and collaborated with them to get their stuff. My Grandpa remembered how they throw out the jews out of their flats, right in the hand of the Nazis… They made the same thing with the remaining germans in 1945, when the ruzzias barricaded

edit: Ofc not all did this, but the polish history lessons always try to tell that all oposed the Nazis while indeed there have been collaborateuers and they have been enough. And yes, ofc the polish resistance killed them righteous.

This is depressing tbh Poland had such a big community that before WWII multiple Jewish parties got seats in the sejm
