Abstract:
In this article the author presents a phenomenon not yet described: the mutual help of Jews in hiding. It discusses Jews who, at risk of death, helped other Jews hiding on the Aryan side in Warsaw during the German occupation. There are examples of over a dozen situations in which some Jews helped other people in hiding and thus shows that many of them were not merely the passive beneficiaries of Poles; they were causative, inventive, brave, full of initiative, and saved not only themselves, but also members of their families and other — sometimes quite strange — people.
