1947-1956 period is even darker period for Poland tnan the 2WW. Thousands of innocent people were imprisoned, tormented and murdered by communist regime. Polish patriots from WIN, with no way to escape were gradually hunted and killed (the most horrible methode of comunists was injecting milk into the veins of captured persons).

The Jews (of course also many Poles) took shameful role in that game- they were massively collaborating with communist regime. 50% members of UB (extremally brutal political police) were Jews. 4 of 5 most important notables of communist power were also Jews. (also in 1939, when Soviets invaded eastern part of Poland, most of the Jews welcomed them warmly).

Litmanowicz is not a single example. A mr. Salomon Morel is hunted by Interpol for crimes against humanity (he was a commander of a concentration camp for AK members and Silesians) and he lives safely in Israel, which rejects any requests of giving him back.

During IIWW, the fear of Nazism pushed many Jews into the collaboration with Stalinism. They considered Russia the only force capable of destroying Germany. And after the war their victims were also anti-nazis, who now turned against new agresor- Soviets.
