Polish soldiers fought the Germans on all fronts and 5,7 million of Poland\u2019s citizens paid the highest price.<\/p>\n

Half of them were Polish Jews who, before the war, constituted 10% of Poland\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

For European Jewry, the end of the war was also the end of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Today is also the 75th anniversary of liberation from concentration camps.<\/p>\n

War and Holocaust remembrance are part and parcel of Poland\u2019s historical consciousness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
