Neighbors--Jan Gross's stunning account of the brutal mass murder of the Jews of Jedwabne by their Polish neighbors--was met with international critical acclaim and was a finalist for the National Book Award in the United States. It has also been, from the moment of its publication, the occasion of intense controversy and painful reckoning. This book captures some of the most important voices in the ensuing debate, including those of residents of Jedwabne itself as well as those of journalists, intellectuals, politicians, Catholic clergy, and historians both within and well beyond Poland's borders. Antony Polonsky and Joanna Michlic introduce the debate, focusing particularly on how Neighbor...

Volume XXI of the distinguished annual Studies in Contemporary Jewry marks sixty years since the end of the Second World War and forty years since the Second Vatican Council's efforts to revamp Church relations with the Jewish people and the Jewish faith. Jews, Catholics, and the Burden of History offers a collection of new scholarship on the nature of the Jewish-Catholic encounter between 1945 and 2005, with an emphasis on how this relationship has emerged from the shadow of the Holocaust.

📙 Wydawnictwo von Borowiecky : Namówiliśmy Autora, by opracował drugą część Studiów nad żydofilią, ponieważ nie mogliśmy dłużej znieść fałszu, którym pokryty jest realny stan stosunków polsko-żydowskich. Również dlatego poprosiliśmy historyka Pawła Siergiejczyka o opracowanie Kalendarium tych stosunków, obejmującego ostatnie 30-lecie, czyli ostatnią dekadę PRL i dwie dekady tzw. III RP. To kalendarium publikujemy jako swoisty wstęp do książki Michalkiewicza. Niewątpliwie są na świecie Żydzi, którzy nie lubią Polaków, jak i są Polacy, którzy nie lubią Żydów. Nie zmieni tego ani polityka historyczna, ani tresura politycznej poprawności. Co najwyż...
Podstawowym celem, który wyznaczyÅ‚a sobie autorka, jest analiza walki bez przemocy podejmowanej przez PalestyÅ„czyków mieszkajÄ…cych na Zachodnim Brzegu Jordanu. Walki bez przemocy – czyli rodzaju walki prowadzonej przez spoÅ‚eczność cywilnÄ…, u której podstaw leży nieposuwanie siÄ™ do przemocy fizycznej, a nawet niewysuwanie groźby jej użycia. Taka forma walki przewiduje natomiast korzystanie z caÅ‚ego zestawu nacisków o charakterze politycznym, gospodarczym, spoÅ‚ecznym oraz moralnym i psychologicznym. Autorka podejmuje próbÄ™ odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego mimo dÅ‚ugoletniego doÅ›wiadczenia i konsekwencji walki bez przemocy przeciw polityce Izraela PalestyÅ„czycy nie odnoszÄ...
This book provides a concise historical outline of religion in Poland up until its entry into the European Union in 2004, together with a longer presentation of contemporary religious issues. Albeit largely mono-ethnic and overwhelmingly Catholic after the loss of its large Jewish population to the Holocaust, and subsequent post-World War II border shifts, traces of an historic diversity remain in Poland to date, playing a greater role than mere numbers would suggest. Poland's fairly robust religious life is affected by the country's continuing modernization and its various institutions, and this is discussed within a broad context. One of the unfortunate legacies of decades of communism is a stunted civil society; while at different levels there are conflicts involving religion, at the grassroots it is one of the few forces building much needed trust in present-day Polish society.
