Communist Poland: A Jewish Woman's Experience is the first-person
account by Jewish journalist Sara Nomberg-Przytyk of surviving
Auschwitz then rising to various leadership roles in the
newly-formed postwar Polish Communist Party. Building a just and
equitable Poland for the common Pole through communism was her
dream. The reality was neither simple nor successful. Working for
heavily censored newspapers and periodicals, Nomberg-Przytyk
witnessed firsthand the inner workings of a communist government
plagued by the same Kafkaesque bureaucracy and antisemitism that
she had been certain it would fix. Her memoir provides a
comprehensive account as she slowly changed from enthusiastic
practitioner to witness of a system that failed her and many
others. This is the first published edition of this text,
originally recorded as oral testimony in Polish but translated into
English by Paula Parsky, and includes a critical introduction by
the co-editors, American and Polish academics Holli Levitsky and
Justyna Wlodarczyk, as well as extensive annotations.
