Few issues have divided Poles and Jews more deeply than the Nazi
occupation of Poland during the Second World War and the subsequent
slaughter of almost ninety percent of Polish Jewry. Many Jewish
historians have argued that, during the occupation, Poles at best
displayed indifference to the fate of the Jews and at worst were
willing accomplices of the Nazis. Many Polish scholars, however,
deny any connection between the prewar culture of antisemitism and
the wartime situation. They emphasized that Poles were also victims
of the Nazis and, for the most part, tried their best to protect
the Jews. This collection of essays, representing three generations
of Polish and Jewish scholars, is the first attempt since the fall
of Communism to reassess the existing historiography of
Polish-Jewish relations just before, during, and after the Second
World War. In the spirit of detached scholarly inquiry, these
essays fearlessly challenge commonly held views on both sides of
the debates. The authors are committed to analyzing issues fairly
and to reaching a mutual understanding. Joshua D. Zimmerman is an
assistant professor of East European Jewish History at Yeshiva
University, where he holds the Eli and Diana Zborowski Chair in
Holocaust Studies. He is the author of the forthcoming title Poles,
Jews and the Politics of Nationality: The Jewish Labor Bund and the
Polish Socialist Party in Late Czarist Russia, 1892-1914.
