This biographical sketch of Joseph Wulf (1912–74), one of the most important Polish-Jewish survivor historians, outlines his career after the liberation of Auschwitz. It covers his activities as a key figure in Poland's Jewish Historical Commission, his emigration to France and the establishment of a Centre for the History of Polish Jews in Paris, and his later move to West Berlin. In the 1950s, Wulf was the first historian to publish books on the Shoah in German. In the years prior to his suicide in 1974, he was greatly preoccupied by the question of how best to enlighten the Germans about the history of National Socialism, an issue that involved a number of disputes with German historians
