"The book is the product of a protracted, laborious and scrupulous
research and draws on a most extensive and varied assembly of
documents. But the archival evidence, factual accounts and even
personal narratives would have remained remote, dry and cold if not
for the author's remarkable gift of empathy. Barbara Engelking
gives the witnesses of the Holocaust a voice which readers of this
book will understand....Under her pen memories come alive
again."--from the Foreword by Zygmunt BaumanOriginally published in
Polish to great acclaim and based on interviews with survivors of
the Holocaust in Poland, Holocaust and Memory provides a moving
description of their life during the war and the sense they made of
it. The book begins by looking at the differences between the
wartime experiences of Jews and Poles in occupied Poland, both in
terms of Nazi legislation and individual experiences. On the Aryan
side of the ghetto wall, Jews could either be helped or blackmailed
by Poles. The largest section of the book reconstructs everyday
life in the ghetto. The psychological consequences of wartime
experiences are explored, including interviews with survivors who
stayed on in Poland after the war and were victims of anti-Semitism
again in 1968. These discussions bring into question some of the
accepted survivor stereotypes found in Holocaust literature. A
final chapter looks at the legacy of the Holocaust, the problems of
transmitting experience and of the place of the Holocaust in Polish
history and culture.
