Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, wiping
out nearly 98 percent of the Jewish population who had lived and
thrived there for generations. Night Without End tells the stories
of their resistance, suffering, and death in unflinching, horrific
detail. Based on meticulous research from across Poland, it
concludes that those who were responsible for so many deaths
included a not insignificant number of Polish villagers and
townspeople who aided the Germans in locating and slaughtering
Jews. When these findings were first published in a Polish edition
in 2018, a storm of protest and lawsuits erupted from Holocaust
deniers and from people who claimed the research was falsified and
smeared the national character of the Polish people. Night Without
End, translated and published for the first time in English in
association with Yad Vashem, presents the critical facts,
significant findings, and the unmistakable evidence of Polish
collaboration in the genocide of Jews.

Originally 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.
