Summary/Abstract: The author discusses and quantifies the results of recent research of the German repressions for help offered to Jews in occupied Poland during World War II. Another layer of the paper covers an analysis of the political underpinnings of research on this subject conducted in today’s Poland, and its entanglement in the official politics of memory. Analysis of the construction and of the language of the publication which presents the research results, reveals areas of existing taboos and shows the defensive character of the contemporary discourse of rescuing Jews.
