Poland and Jews
It is difficult to disprove Selene Bruk’s own perception of negative sentiments exhibited toward some Jewish Poles in pre-World War II Poland (letter, Jan. 10). However, such personal perceptions, even if sincere, should never be extrapolated to a whole country or religion. In fact, no other nation did so much for Jews over the centuries, and during the war, and paid such a high price. Only in Poland did the Nazis decree that the penalty for helping a Jew was death.
