Bratwurst Boy: The Jews were made to live in Ghettos till the final solution geared up later
Black book lists the first victims and all Polish were skum.
This can be found on Amazon, I might add from the review of Review of The Lost: A Search for Six of the Six Million, by Daniel Mendelsohn 2007. Harper Perennial, New York.
Reviewer: Mr. Jan Peczkis
While confined to the ghetto, the Jewish community had to deal with collaborationist Jewish policemen. These are recalled unfavorably by elderly Jewish survivors (p. 392), who evidently don’t support the premise that the desperate circumstances excused their conduct. Also, a group of fugitive Jews who had been denounced by fellow Jews: “‘You see, the Germans implanted spies’, Jack continued. ‘That means, Jews who ran away, they were spying on the group and revealing everything. I imagine they were being forced or blackmailed into betraying them, somehow, something.’” (p. 149).
As for other historical topics, Mendelsohn touches on the 5-7 million Ukrainians murdered by the Soviets (pp. 454-455), the Nazis’ extermination of Poland ’s intelligentsia (e. g., pp. 458-460), their sparing of the Karaites (pp. 340-341), the Soviet betrayal of the Warsaw Uprising (p. 426), etc. However, his mention of the Danes’ rescue of Jews (pp. 403-404) omits three important facts: The extreme mildness of the German occupation, the prolonged cooperation of a key German official, and the hefty payments required by Danes to ship the Jews to Sweden . Overall, though, it is obvious that Mendelsohn has done his historical homework.
