the Poles were under. By describing the things that were done to help the Jews, it is clear that there were Poles that did as much as possible to help protect and disguise Jews as Aryans.

Deadly diseases, executions, and kids with no parents or home made up the ghettos. Ghettos were horrible places where the Jews were forced to
