Oscar Pinkus describes how entire Jewish communities were wiped out in Losice (his home town), Biala, Siedice and Miedzyrnec. He portrays the harrowing consequences of Jewish isolation amid anti-Semitic populations. One important aspect of this book is its revelations concerning the Polish underground, Armja Krajowa, who, after the Nazis had been driven out, continued to commit anti-Semitic actions and succeeded in murdering three of the 20 survivors of Losice.
The first account of the August Trials, in which postwar Poland confronted the betrayal of Jewish citizens under Nazi rule but ended up fashioning an alibi for the past. When six years of ferocious resistance to Nazi occupation came to an end in 1945, a devastated Poland could agree with its new Soviet rulers on little else beyond the need to punish German war criminals and their collaborators.

Andrew Kornbluth reconstructs the story of the August Trials, long dismissed as a Stalinist ...
