Description:
From Library Journal In 1987, Jan Blonski, Professor of Polish literature, published an article in a Krakow-based Catholic weekly calling for Poland to admit its moral guilt for the Holocaust and its indifference to Jewish genocide. His essay sparked a heated debate among Polish intelligentsia over Poland's responsibility for the Holocaust and its past relationship to Polish Jews. This book republishes some of the most trenchant and provocative essays of the debate (including Blonski's original). It highlights Polish intellectuals' wrestling with an unresolved, haunting issue and reveals the spectrum of Polish attitudes. The book concludes with a transcript of discussions between Polish and Israeli scholars at a 1988 conference on Polish Jewry held in Israel. Very well done, this book is recommended for those interested in Polish-Jewish history, the Holocaust, and post-Holocaust ethnic and national reconciliation.- Benny Kraut, Univ. of CincinnatiCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review 'This book is a valuable slice of contemporary history which sheds much light on Polish moral sensibilities towards the Holocaust itself ...' – The Slavonic Review
