Source of legend

There were some real cases.

First, read about Khapper in 19. c. for the folk memory background.

Then e.g. the killing of this boy: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zab%C3%B3jstwo_Bohdana_Piaseckiego

Near the intersection with Wejnerta Street, a man approached the boys and asked which of them was called Piasecki.  Later he showed Bohdan some document he had taken from his briefcase.  Then he walked with the boy to ul.  Wejnert, where the other man was waiting for them.  All three got into the waiting (black) taxi which departed shortly after.

Plus some abductions of Jewish children sheltered by Polish families in the countryside, most in the 1940s. Zezen (talk) 06:44, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More about this case here:

Neither of the boys was sure what they had witnessed. Were the men kidnappers, policemen, or chauffeurs? In Poland, during 1957, anything was possible.

not shatter their tranquility, particularly if coercion was used…
