When the
SS evacuated the Auschwitz work camp complex in the middle of
January 1945, they left a
large number of prisoners, mostly Jewish, behind. Many of these were
too old or too sick to travel and they were left in their barracks,
guarded by a Polish militia that had been raised earlier by Hans
Frank, the head of the Government General (as occupied Poland
was termed by the Germans.) With the approach of the Soviet army in
early 1945, these Polish guards indiscriminately attacked the
barracks, with the prisoners inside, using hand grenades and machine
guns.
The violent animosity
of the Catholic Poles to their huge Jewish community is certainly
well known. When the Russians invaded Poland in 1920, one of the
greatest fears of the Polish leadership and the government was that
the 500,000 Jewish residents of Warsaw’s Nalevski district would
rise up against them in support of the advancing Bolshevik armies.
Many Polish Jews fled after the failure of the Russian
Bolshevik attack and a number of those left behind were
promptly massacred by Poles when the central government collapsed
after the German invasion of 1939.
Although exact figures
of the dead among the remaining Auschwitz inmates in 1945 are not
available, several existing Soviet military reports put the death
toll between 7,000 and 10,000. Former members of the Polish militia
have subsequently claimed that many of the dead were shot down by
Russian troops as they attempted to exit the liberated camp.
The Russians did not
like Jews either, remembering their savagery against them during the
salad days of Josef Stalin.
The truth of this
matter will never be known but at least this is an atrocity that
cannot be blamed on the Germans who were hundreds of miles away at
the time.
How many of the 1,590 Hungarian Jewish deportees
remaining in Auschwitz died in this Slavic holocaust is not known.
