Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The other options listed are all reasons why Polish citizens would resist Soviet rule. However, the statement that Polish citizens assisted Germans in rounding up Jewish Poles in 1939 is not entirely accurate. While there were some Poles who did collaborate with the Nazis in this way, many others resisted and helped to shelter and save Jewish people during the war. It is important to acknowledge the complexity of this issue and not make blanket statements about the actions of all Polish citizens during this time.
