Polish Jews in the Red Army during WW2 #poland

David Ellis
Hi there,
Wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of more information on Polish Jews who fought for the Red Army/ Polish Armed Forces fighting with the Red Army during WW2.
My Grandfather was a Polish Jew from Dobromil. He joined the Red Army in June 1941 and then (I believe) retreats east to Kharkov in the USSR after the Red Army are defeated by the Nazis in 1941.
In Jan 1944, he then rejoins the Red Army in Moscow (the Polish Armed forces/ the People's Army of Poland in the Soviet Union) and finishes his duty in October 1945 in Germany.
I'm very keen to understand more about Polish Jews who did similar if anyone knows of any accounts?
Best, David Ellis
