📅 4 December 1942 📍

The Polish underground Council to Aid Jews, known as Żegota, began operating with support from the Polish government-in-exile. Polish and Jewish activists coordinated shelter, forged documents, and financial aid. Rescue was dangerous and limited; the organization lacked the resources and power to stop the genocide.
