Search & Research, Lectures and Papers 13: Rescue for Money - Paid Helpers in Poland, 1939-1945

Jan Grabowski describes “the very risky, but also very profitable enterprise” of hiding Jews during the Holocaust in Poland. The current study discusses sheltering Jews in exchange for money as an attempt to act normally in an abnormal situation; those who took money and turned on their “guests” when the money ran out; methodology of help; denunciations; the price and extent of help; and specific court cases.
