The author undertakes an intellectual journey into the hidden past of
the Polish history after 1939. He deals with Holocaust, collaboration,
totalitarian rule, crisis of communism in Eastern Europe as well as
Polish-Jewish relations during the war. The author is a founding
father of a new approach in Holocaust research in Poland in which he
has taken it from out of its intellectual ghetto as a strictly Jewish
subject and repositioned it at the center of Poland’s wartime
history. Among other topics, the collection of essays deals with
Jewish community in the Soviet annexed territories on the eve of the
Holocaust, opportunistic killings and plunder of Jews by their
neighbors and Poland’s development from a civil society to a
political nation.
