P aul H anebrink . A Specter Haunting Europe: The Myth of Judeo-Bolshevism
When reaching back for Paul Hanebrink’s A Specter Haunting Europe: The Myth of Judeo-Bolshevism to check for passages I marked on the first reading to use for illustration of particularly strong insights, I found virtually every page full of highlighted text. Paul Hanebrink has written a remarkable study. The myth of Judeo-Bolshevism is a canard cliché of which every student of twentieth-century European, especially Eastern European, history is f…

A Response
In this forum on Neighbors by Jan T. Gross (Princeton, 2001), four scholars respond to the book and to the issues of evidence, causality, and interpretation that it raises. Janine P. Holc summarizes the contents and the book's approach and explores the roles of individual choice, on the one hand, and ethnic identity categories, on the other, in Gross's presentation of the causes of the massacre of the Jewish residents of Jedwabne by their non-Jew…
Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland
One summer day in 1941, half of the Polish town of Jedwabne murdered the other half, 1,600 men, women, and children, all but seven of the town's Jews. Neighbors tells their story. This is a shocking, brutal story that has never before been told. It is the most important study of Polish-Jewish relations to be published in decades and should become a classic of Holocaust literature. Jan Gross pieces together eyewitness accounts and other evidence i…
The Politics of Retribution in Europe: World War II and Its Aftermath
The presentation of Europe's immediate historical past has quite dramatically changed. Conventional depictions of occupation and collaboration in World War II, of wartime resistance and post-war renewal, provided the familiar backdrop against which the chronicle of post-war Europe has mostly been told. Within these often ritualistic presentations, it was possible to conceal the fact that not only were the majority of people in Hitler's Europe not…

Revolution from Abroad: The Soviet Conquest of Poland's Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia
Jan Gross describes the terrors of the Soviet occupation of the lands that made up eastern Poland between the two world wars: the Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia. His analysis of the revolution that came to Poland from abroad is based on hundreds of first-hand accounts of the hardship, suffering, and social chaos that accompanied the sovietization of this poorest section of a poverty-stricken country. Woven into the author's exploration of…

The First Soviet Sponsored Elections in Eastern Europe
Polish-Jewish relations during the war An interpretation
For the last two hundred years, with the exception of a brief interval between the two World Wars, Poland has been either partitioned, or occupied, or governed by proxy. Squeezed between Russia and Germany Poles took nourishment and continuity as a historical nation from remembrance of things past whenever their sovereignty as a political nation was curtailed or abolished. Lately these efforts were inspired by a conviction that even if present da…
