Then the Germans take some Jews that survive to work outside the Ghetto and they separated from the others, so then they aloud to they to take potatoes and bread and they plan to attack the Germans and they were getting guns that they bring inside the of the potatoes .
Then Wladyslav scape from the work outside the Ghetto and he go to visit Janine’s house and he get a shower and they give it food, then they hide him in an apartment , then when he was in his apartment in April 19 0f 1943 the Jews on the Ghetto attack the Germans and they fight a lot of days but the Jews lose and the Germans kill them, then Janine was planning to attack the Germans but they find their guns and she get arrested so Wladyslav have to escape from the apartment and he go to a place where he find Dorota.

After that then the Russian people get to Polish and they start to kill the Germans and the Germans that where on the house that Wladyslav was hidden scape.
The next they Wladyslav get out of the house and he find some Russians think that he was a German because the man that help him gives him a German sweater but he said he was polish so he help him .
Then the Russians get all the Germans and give their things back to the Jews and all comeback to the normally and Wladyslav continue his life.
Then he try to look for the German man who help him to survive but he never find him.
My conclusion is that the Germans never have any reason to make that things to the Jews and I think that the other countries can help the Jews to take the Germans away , I think that Germans were so bad and they never think how would they will feel if they do that things to them .
The war doesn´t help in anything it only destroy kill and do bad things

    In the course of July 1941, the Russian-controlled Jedwabne (in northeastern Poland) was captured by Germany, who was just beginning to institutionalize their control of Eastern Poland when the non-Jewish civilians perpetrated a massacre against the Polish Jews. In Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland, historian Jan Gross describes how the massacre was not committed by German invaders (Nazis/Germany army) but was a “violent transformation of a multiethnic cultures in Poland to a homogenous one”. In fact, according to the evidence Gross presents, the Nazis tried to persuade the Poles to keep at least one Jewish family from each profession, but the Poles responded, "We have enough of our own craftsmen, we have to destroy all the…

    In Jan Gross’s Neighbors, one reads the story of a horrific pogrom committed by the inhabitants of Jedwabne (a village in Poland) against their Jewish neighbors. In the film Aftermath (Pokłosie; 2012) by Władysław Pasikowski, one finds a parallel—the film was inspired by the Jedwabne pogrom—but this time told sixty years after the fact. Both stories share a similar past: a small village inhabited by Poles, who, during the early days of the Second World War, committed a pogrom against their Jewish neighbors. In Neighbors, Gross discusses the circumstances before, during, and after the pogrom through legal documents culled from three Soviet trials stemming from a 1945 testimony by an eyewitness, a man named Szmul Wasersztajn, who described in…
