Managing Death. Polish Legitimate Cultures Concerning the Holocaust

on the eightieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Barbara Engelking, a well-known and respected Holocaust researcher, said during the program Kropka nad I [Dotting the "I"], hosted on the independent TV station TVN by Monika Olejnik:The Jews were unbelievably disappointed by the Poles during the war.[] The Jews knew what to expect from the Germans.The German was the enemy and this relationship was very clear, black and white, while the relationship with the Poles was much more complex.[] The Poles had the potential to become allies of the Jews and one could hope that they would behave differently, that they would be neutral, that they would show good-will, that they would not exploit the situation to such an extent, and that there would not be such widespread blackmail.1 2 Mateusz Morawiecki, Post (Twitter), accessed August 26, 2023, https://twitter.com/MorawieckiM/status/1648986768429948928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etw eetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1648986768429948928%7Ctwgr%5E3d79e4f9b4cbcb1549c3 167a5a4fa848cd2a34dc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwyborcza.pl%2F
