    Its a great historical video. Poland was definitely the most friendly country to us in Europe. Despite some misunderstandings between Poles and Jews it was our home for centuries and we loved it.

    Which countries in Europe are you comparing it to? There's a reason why Jews wanted to stay in ghettos, even though they could've moved out.

    When people choose to live in a certain country that's probably because the conditions in that place are favorable there, especially when you have plenty of other places to choose from. There is no reason to compare it to any other specific country. I sense a little resentment in your comment. The facts speak for themselves, before WWII majority of European Jews lived in Poland and that's a fact.

    ​@@benz500r there were at the start of wwii, approximately 3.4million Jews in Poland - actually in the area known as Pale of Settlement. At the end of the nineteenth century, close to 95 percent of the 5.3 million Jews in the Russian Empire lived in the Pale of Settlement. Must have been something there to draw them to the area.

    Nice to hear such comment, in spite of the fact that Poland is acussed by globalists and US to be antisemitic. Do not ever believe all the things the media say! Especially CNN, BBC and German press. The US, UK and Germany were the most antisemitic countries in history. Now all they do is whitewashing inconvenient facts from their history throwing accusations on Poland.

    For those who have knowledge of Rabbinic history, at 4:53 the narrator states that the great Rabbi Yaakov Polack, who came to Krakow from Prague and founded the greatest yeshiva of its time there, is buried in the Krakow cemetery. However, it is widely accepted that after emigrating to Israel in 1522 and living in Jerusalem for 10 years, he ultimately returned to Poland and settled in Lublin, where his greatest disciple, Rabbi Shalom Shachna (father-in-law and teacher of the Ramah) lived, and that the very first tombstone that one encounters upon entering the old Lublin cemetery, is that of Rabbi Yaakov Polack, not far from that of Rabbi Shalom Shachna.

    Please have in mind that a lot of antisemitic signs in Kraków are actually related to football (soccer) as the Cracovia football team was originally a Jewish team and its supporters call themselves "Jews" until today ("Jude Gang" to be specific). So, if you see a crossed star of David in Kraków, it is most likely an act of vandalism done by supporters of other teams, especially Wisła Kraków, and not so much an act of antisemitism per se.

    Maybe the family of my Mother is from Poland. Nobody told it to me clearly but I have met people with the same name who were originally Polish Jews. We cry when we look at this film because they all were exterminated by Nazis for sure. Devil is against Jews and he turns people's minds to be crazy about them. I saw Muslims hating me in Nice just because I wore a Christian's cross. Because it's written on the horrible book of Evil they obey. How can they follow the negative spirit?! Are they blinds? I pray Holy Spirit he could change their minds.
