" Every war casts up certain small groups among ethnic populations: minorities too cowardly to fight openly, too insignificant to play any independent political part, but despicable enough to act as paid executioners to one of the fighting powers. In this war those people were the Ukrainian and Lithuanian Fascists. "

― Władysław Szpilman , The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45
