in that period Jews were murdered:
- in Germany in persecutions organized by the legitimate German government,
- in Austria in persecutions supported by the Austrians themselves,
- in the Soviet Union a cultural genocide was successfully carried out against the Russian Jews, this resulted in total loss of their cultural identity, customs, and religion. The Jewish religious and political leaders were arrested and most eventually murdered, this includes the occupied in 1939 by the Soviets Polish lands,
- in Hungary they were subjected to severe anti-Jewish law modeled on Nazi Germany, then hundreds of thousands of them were murdered on the orders of the legitimate Hungarian government,
- tens of thousands of Jews were sent to their to deaths by the legitimate Bulgarian government,
- in 1938 Romania stripped all Romanian Jews from their citizenship, the legitimate Romanian government was directly responsible of the murder of 300,000 Romanian Jews.
And the legitimate Slovak government was responsible for the destruction of their Jews, the same the Czech government, the French government, and the Dutch authorities.
In Poland no government, and no political party (except a splinter group, the size of maybe a football team) advocated or supported anti-Jewish violence or persecutions before, during and after the war.
In fact in the interbellum Poland a Polish Jew was much more likely to die in robbery, or by choking on a chicken bone than as result of politically motivated violence.
As to the original question - Jews were murdered by local inhabitants long before, during and even after WWII in each and every European country where they lived in great numbers, and where crime happened, exactly like in Poland.
