The Power of Myth, or on the Meanders of Historical Writing
This monograph presents a critical analysis of the body of historical writing on the history of the Jewish population in Poznania in the era of the Prussian rule (1772-1918 ), including the identification and verification of the attendant myths and stereotypes. The interest in the Polish edition of this book was considerable. Similarly noticeable was the academic response to the title, despite its ostensibly local subject matter. While this study was also noticed abroad, the language barrier has severely impeded its impact. This prompted the author to work towards the English edition of this book, hoping it would find its way into global academic circulation. Some changes and additions were made in the English version. It includes an updated survey of scholarship on this subject of the past twenty years, a response to reviews engaging with the Polish edition, and some general reflections on the evolution of historiography in the recent years.
The Destruction of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland
The Destruction of Jewish Cemeteries in Poland offers a comprehensive examination of the history of Jewish cemeteries in Poland, shedding light on an overlooked aspect of Holocaust history. Beginning with the settlement of Jewish communities in Poland, the book covers the establishment and subsequent destruction of over 1,200 Jewish cemeteries within the country's present borders. Krzysztof Bielawski draws on meticulous research and firsthand experience to explore the complex dynamics behind the destruction, exposing the roles played by various actors. Through a detailed analysis of texts, iconographic sources, and archival materials, the book not only documents the destruction but also seeks to identify the perpetrators, challenging common misconceptions and offering a nuanced perspective on this dark chapter in history.

Three Minutes in Poland
The author's discovery of a brief 16mm film shot by his grandfather during a 1938 visit to his soon-to-be-extinguished birthplace in Poland unfolds like a detective story. Now the basis for the documentary Three Minutes: A Lengthening. Named one of the best books of 2014 by NPR, The New Yorker, and The Boston Globe When Glenn Kurtz stumbles upon an old family film in his parents' closet in Florida, he has no inkling of its historical significance or of the impact it will have on his life. The film, shot long ago by his grandfather on a sightseeing trip to Europe, includes shaky footage of Paris and the Swiss Alps, with someone inevitably waving at the camera. Astonishingly, David Kurtz also ...
Nowe życie na zgliszczach
Celem monografii jest pokazanie mało znanej i pomijanej w historiografii działalności Bundu w realiach powojennych. Zabrakło w nich przedwojennych liderów partii ze wszystkich szczebli jej struktur organizacyjnych oraz zainteresowania programem ugrupowania wśród ocalałego proletariatu żydowskiego, który ją współtworzył przed wojną. Na przekór stwierdzeniom Marka Edelmana, że Bund po drugiej wojnie światowej prawie nie istniał i nic nie znaczył, że był to wyłącznie ruch społeczny stworzony z sentymentu za przeszłością, autorka ukazuje jego działalność jako partii zdziesiątkowanej, ale wciąż żywej, która w nowych realiach próbowała zmodyfikować swój prog...
