Polish resistance during WWII

We are forgetting that a resistance force like the one organized by
the Bielskis is NEVER going to be a band of angels. Undoubtedly
they did some things they might should not have done. Let us also
remember the conditions under which they were living, fighting, and
dying, and the enemy they were fighting. Undoubtedly, these guys
were guilty of rape, robbery and murder; these things happen in wartime,
on all sides. If you were the recipient of their misbehavior, too bad.
The Soviets and the Germans would have (and did) do the exact same
things to you.

And you have to remember that the Poles of that era (and perhaps even
currently) were strongly anti-jewish.

So the Bielskis weren't angels, but they certainly did a lot of good.
