RIGHTEOUS INDICATORSby Alexander KimelPoland has the highest number of Righteous people. Looking over the compilation of the Righteous awards, I came to an interesting conclusion that in countries with a low survival rate, high numbers of Righteous people, indicates an hostile or indifferent "silent majority." Just the opposite that was implied. My reasoning is as follows: ASSUMPTIONS 1. In France there were about 1250 Righteous families, while in Poland the number of Righteous families reached about 5000. 2. The real number of Righteous families is about twice the officially awarded. 2500 in France and 10,000 in Poland. 3. Each Righteous family saved on average 2 Jews. 4. The average size of a Righteous family was about 4 people, which means that in France there were about 10,000 Righteous people, while in Poland the number reached 40,000.
CONCLUSSIONS In Poland the prewar Jewish population was about 3.5 million, from which about 300,000 were deported to Siberia. In 1945, after the war Poland was home to about 45,000 Jews, from which 20,000 were saved by the Righteous Poles, and about 25,000 or 0.72% of the prewar population, were sheltered by the "silent majority."
If on e takes into consideration that about 20,000 Jews survived
on assumed identities, on Aryan papers, than the number of the Jews
sheltered by the "silent majority" is further reduced.
