Description
In Poland in the decades leading up to World War II, Jews and non Jews lived as neighbours. As World War II approached and Polish nationalism surged, violence against Jews became more common. Within the first two months of the Nazi occupation of Poland the German military killed 20,000 Jews and restrictions were placed on Jews almost immediately.
