Let me help you a little bit. Since you are not ready for books on the subject, here is a little from wiki:
During Stalinism, the preferred Soviet policy was to keep sensitive posts in the hands of non-Poles. As a result "all or nearly all of the directors (of the widely despised Ministry of Public Security of Poland) were Jewish" as noted by Polish journalist Teresa Torańska[75] among others.[76] A recent study by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance showed that out of 450 people in director positions in the Ministry between 1944 and 1954, 167 (37.1%) were of Jewish ethnicity, while Jews made up approximately 1% of the post-war Polish population.
The Polish-American historian Marek Jan Chodakiewicz stressed that after the Soviet takeover of Poland in 1945 violence had developed amid postwar retribution and counter-retribution, exacerbated by the breakdown of law and order and a Polish anti-Communist insurgency.[69] According to Chodakiewicz, some Jewish "avengers" endeavored to extract justice from the Poles who harmed Jews during the War and in some cases Jews attempted to reclaim property confiscated by the Nazis. These phenomena further reinforced the stereotype of Żydokomuna, a Jewish-Communist conspiracy in post-war Poland. Chodakiewicz noted that after World War Two, the Jews were not only victims, but also aggressors. He describes cases in which Jews cooperated with the Polish secret police, denouncing Poles and members of the Home Army. Chodakiewicz noted that some 3500 to 6500 Poles died in late 1940s because of Jewish denunciations or were killed by Jews themselves.[70] So, who has blood on their hands?
You have probably not heard of Bloody Luna, and she was a real beast.
You can read about her sadism here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Brystiger
She was not typical of the bunch, because she was actually well educated, which was not the norm.
Some time in the late 1940s, she became the head of the V Department, which specialized in the persecution of religion. Brystygier a dogmatic Marxist, yearned to destroy all religion as an "opiate for the masses" [7]. She directed the operation to arrest and detain the Primate of Poland, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, although the decision to arrest him had been made earlier in Moscow. Brystygier took an active part in the "war against the religion" in the 1950s, in which only in 1950, 123 Roman Catholic priests were arrested
In 1975, at 73, she asked for baptism and converted to the Catholic faith. She died in the same year.
