Recenzje

'This study is essential reading for modern Polish history and the Holocaust, complicating narratives about local agency in thwarting and executing German genocidal plans. It provides a framework for the expanding literature on Polish behavior in local communities during the Holocaust … the majority of the book's readers will no doubt be interested in occupied Poland and the Holocaust, those studying underground movements and partisan warfare should also find this a provocative and important study.' Jadwiga Biskupska, H-Poland
