Symbiosis and Ambivalence

Meer over het boek

The exploration of Polish-Jewish history reveals a growing interest in addressing the "blank spots" of Poland's national narrative, particularly surrounding Polish anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, which saw the mass extermination of Jews on Polish territory. The period from 1946 to 1968, marked by pogroms, anti-Semitic campaigns, and significant Jewish emigration, has resurfaced in public discourse after decades of silence. This renewed focus highlights the complexities of Polish-Jewish relations, often viewed as irreparably tainted by historical anti-Semitism.
