"This study gives a more nuanced picture of the stereotypical
views of Polish attitudes towards Jews, which cannot be reduced to
a simple form of anti-Semitism." . L'Homme
In Poland and elsewhere there has been a noticeable increase of
interest in various aspects of the Polish-Jewish past which can be
explained, the author argues, in terms of a broader intellectual
need to explore the "blank spots" of Poland's national history.
This quest begins and ends with Polish anti-Semitism and the Shoah,
during which most of Europe's Jews were annihilated on Polish soil,
but also focuses on the events of 1946-1968, the years of pogroms,
anti-Semitic campaigns, and mass emigration of the Jews from
Poland. All these became main issues of public reflection in Poland
after a silence for almost forty years and led to the widespread
view that Polish-Jewish relations are irredeemably poisoned by
anti-Semitism.
If this is the case, how is it possible then, the author asks,
that Jews still play an important role in the cultural expressions
and the consciousness of the Polish people? To find an answer, she
explored Polish-Jewish relations in a small Galacian town from the
early 19th century to the end of World War II. Detailed analysis of
archival materials as well as interviews with Polish inhabitants of
this town and Jewish survivors living elsewhere reveal a pattern of
Polish-Jewish interdependence that has led to a far more complex
picture than is generally assumed.
Rosa Lehmann studied Polish-Jewish and Polish-Ukranian
relations as a research fellow at the Amsterdam School for Social
Science Research (University of Amsterdam) and is currently
carrying out research on twentieth-century Dutch Jewry at the
Menasseh Ben Israel Institute in Amsterdam."
