yehudi: Polish partisans would not accept armed Jews among them and stole their weapons Yea, the Jews had all the guns.....right?
yehudi: So for the sake of survival, Jewish partisans had to go it alone and they were opposed and sometimes betrayed by AK partisans. The Soviets usually supported the Jewish partisans and for the sake of survival jews accepted that support. Many Poles helped Jews; many could not for fear for their (own) lives. It would be interesting how many here would behave under war conditions that existed in Poland.
As to Jews accepting Soviet support, I'm afraid that this was a condition even prior to the war. What was that percentage of communist Jews again? (I understand it's a touchy subject but deal with it).
I would also add that there were some Jews who considered themselves Polish as well.
