The Towns of Death deals with the pogroms of Jews in Eastern Poland
in 1941-1942 perpetrated by their Polish neighbors. The book relies
on witness reports from survivors, bystanders, and the murderers
themselves as found in court testimonies to describe the eerily
similar, horrific events that occurred in some dozen towns
throughout the region. It Importantly, the author demonstrates the
pivotal role of the Catholic clergy and individual priests, the
intellectual classes, and political circles in sowing the seeds
that allowed anti-Semitism to grow and express itself in the
pogroms in which tens of thousands of Polish Jews were slaughtered
individually and en masse by their Polish neighbors.
