While there was no shortage of animosity against Jews from the Poles, they were not responsible for, nor is it in their national character to have embarked upon, a "Final Solution". That proud development belongs to the Germans (with able assists from Ukranians and Lithuanians). As for Kielce, while it was a shameful incident for Poland and should not be forgiven, it follows a period where Poland had been brutalized and victimized for years by the Germans.
