There were some cases of killed Jewes indeed, but usually the background was criminal or executions of people actively supporting Soviet occupation (quite a high percentage). If there were any killings due to ethnicity, they were incidental.
Concerning books, can you read in Polish or do you need books in English?

Must be that the Poles being the good Catholics they are stand next to Saint Peter at the gates of heaven when it comes to righteousness and piety. If there ever was a Jew slain by Polish hands in an organized manner it was his just reward for being a Pinko Red!

Poor Jew who happened to have slightly different views. What would spark those Pinko Red sympathies? It could certainly not have been Polish culture, with its great love of Jews.

Poland was a victim in WW2, but you can overplay the part. Poles, Germans and Jews (etc) are not much different when it comes to playing that hurt part to suit their agenda and/or national/cultural psyche.

I won't enter a debate, since I am also host, but let my personal opinion be recorded. Last post I make on this subject.

Re: Polish War Crimes
 
I am wondering, why have you written all of this. Apparently you do not have a slightest idea what it was in Poland, but you note that it must have been as in other countries.
No it was not and there was no political organisation in Poland that supported physical extermination of Jews. Poland as a state did a lot to save Jews but all the requests aimed at highest levels of Western governments as well as American and British Jewry provided no results. This at the end resulted with suicidal death of member of Polish government, Szmul Zygielbojm, who tried to protest against silence of Polish Allies.
You chose to step on a highly offensive way, but it would be better to do it even with some basic knowledge.

I'm sure that made all the difference to the people who were killed.
