...I wonder how the American citizents or any other nation involved would have behaved at the time of war... when people get into a fear mode, they loose human feelings and become animals. It is not that Polish society was/is anti-semitic - it was difficult time, time of fear and human degradation. The people who took part in pogroms and "helped" Germans were in great majority simple, uneducated and pretty stupid people. Easily manipulated, angered. And there was a lot of anger towards Jewish population as they always stayed on a side, never integrated or had much respect for gentiles around, well, unless they had money. They reacted using basic instincts: fearm greed, hatred for they felt worse (in lots of cases they felt inferior to rich population of Jews, whom they did not understand; and also the Jews never thought of mingling with Polish population). To kill to steal - Romans had it, Americans too - the outbusrt of hatread towards Japanease or Arabic people at the times of war. Let's not generalize. Why do they present two sides of story in a newspaper? It's an easy answer: because the truth is somewhere in between.
