“There were always some Polish bandits among them,” General Juergen Stroop, commander of the German forces during the Warsaw ghetto uprising, wrote to his superiors in Berlin…
As for the Christian Poles Stroop found fighting with the Jews, he refers to them as “bandits, criminals, terrorists and sub-humans.” His troops found them in the sewers, in dugouts, shooting from balconies, and from outside the ghetto. For months they had smuggled arms and counterfeit identification in preparation for the outbreak.
Several of these “bandits” now live in Canada. Their “criminal” activities included hiding Jews, supplying them with false I.D.s, smuggling arms and joining in this most uneven and tragic battle. Their stories were unknown for decades. Some Christian fighters were identified by Dr. Zdzislaw Przygoda, a Toronto resident who was saved by such bandits and who worked with them saving others.
