There is a consensus among Polish historians that helping the Jews under the occupation was a widespread phenomenon. Indeed, while some Poles helped the Jews on humanitarian grounds, many others considered it a very risky, but also a very profitable enterprise. In historical literature these people are referred to as 'paid helpers'. This text, based upon primary sources such as war-time court records, war-time diaries, early post-war Jewish narratives and the post-1945 'August' trials, seeks to shed light on the scale of the phenomenon of paid help, as well as on the quality of help offered under these circumstances. It also offers an analysis of the relationships between the Jews and their paid helpers.

Yet unknown diary (pp 401-445) of the 17-year old Jewess hiding in a barn near Przemysl, Cesia Gruft, in the moths following the liquidation of the Przemysl ghetto. It is preceded by an article briefly analyzing the difficult, complex and psychologically complicated relationships between the persecuted Jews and their rescuers. The analysis shows the difficulty of an unambiguous categorization of the rescuers' motives and the diary's text ends with a short comment on the background of help given as well as on the future fate of the people mentioned in the diary.
