A HISTORY OF THE DEATH OF A JEWISH CITY Jan Tomasz GROSS [2000].

Borderland Foundation 2000

A shocking and extremely important book that has forever changed the way Poles look at their own history. Gross describes the events of Jedwabne in 1941, where, he proves, Jews were murdered by their Polish neighbors, not the German occupiers. It is a moving moral and historical study that has sparked one of the biggest public debates in Poland after 1989. The author not only reconstructs the facts, but forces us to reflect on responsibility, memory and silence. "Neighbors" is a difficult but necessary read.
