Rethinking Poles and Jews
Since Polish Catholics embraced some anti-Jewish notions and actions prior to WWII, many intertwined the Nazi death camps in Poland with Polish anti-Semitism. As a result, more so than local non-Jewish population in other Nazi-occupied countries, Polish Catholics were considered active collaborators in the destruction of European Jewry. Through the presentation of these negative images in Holocaust literature, documentaries, and teaching, these stereotypes have been sustained and infect attitudes toward contemporary Poland, impacting on Jewish youth trips there from Israel and the United States. This book focuses on the role of Holocaust-related material in perpetuating anti-Polish images an...
Lovers in Auschwitz
'Haunting and powerfully resonant... this is a story not just of remarkable individuals, but also a tribute to the wider indomitability of the human spirit at the darkest moment in European history' - Sinclair McKay, bestselling author of Berlin and Dresden Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia’s story began when they first locked eyes across the work floor. It was the start of a romance that could have unfolded anywhere if it weren’t for one key difference: Zippi and David were prisoners in history’s most infamous death camp. David and Zippi defied the odds by surviving for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Shielded by the protection of their fellow inmates, saved on occasion ...

Een liefde in Auschwitz
Een indrukwekkende combinatie van kampgetuigenis en liefdesverhaal: het waargebeurde verhaal van David Wisnia en Helen Spitzer, die verliefd werden in Auschwitz, zonder het van elkaar te weten de Tweede Wereldoorlog overleefden en elkaar pas zeventig jaar later terugzagen ‘Keren Blankfeld weet de gruwelen van het vernietigingskamp Auschwitz-Birkenau vanuit verschillende perspectieven en met een journalistiek oog voor detail en afstand vast te leggen. Dat is de grote verdienste van haar boek’ Telegraaf Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1943. Toen hij haar voor het eerst zag, wist David Wisnia direct dat Helen ‘Zippi’ Spitzer bijzonder was. Zippi was als een van de eerste Joodse vrouwen naar Auschwi...

Los amantes de Auschwitz

Contra todo pronóstico, David y Zippi sobrevivieron durante años bajo el cielo cubierto de cenizas de Auschwitz. Con ...
Polnische Bürgermeister und der Holocaust
Polnische Bürgermeister waren eine wichtige Beamtengruppe im Verwaltungsapparat des Generalgouvernements. Gemeinsam mit den deutschen Kreis- und Stadthauptmännern gestalteten sie Kommunalpolitik und waren an der Verfolgung und Ermordung polnischer und europäischer Juden sowie an der Ausbeutung des Generalgouvernements maßgeblich beteiligt. Auf der Grundlage umfangreicher Archivrecherchen und neuer Kontextualisierungen stellt dieses Buch ausgewählte polnische Bürgermeister vor und zeigt, wie diese sich während des Zweiten Weltkriegs verhielten. In die Analyse werden kleine Städte wie Otwock, mittelgroße wie Tschenstochau und Metropolen wie Warschau einbezogen. Mit dieser Studie legt Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe ein Standardwerk vor, das eine unverzichtbare Grundlage für die Erforschung von Kommunalverwaltungen im Holocaust darstellt.
