Judenjagd, hunt for the Jews, was the German term for the
organized searches for Jews who, having survived ghetto
liquidations and deportations to death camps in Poland in 1942,
attempted to hide "on the Aryan side." Jan Grabowski's penetrating
microhistory tells the story of the Judenjagd in Dabrowa Tarnowska,
a rural county in southeastern Poland, where the majority of the
Jews in hiding perished as a consequence of betrayal by their
Polish neighbors. Drawing on materials from Polish, Jewish, and
German sources created during and after the war, Grabowski
documents the involvement of the local Polish population in the
process of detecting and killing the Jews who sought their aid.
Through detailed reconstruction of events, this close-up account of
the fates of individual Jews casts a bright light on a little-known
aspect of the Holocaust in Poland.
