Reviews
"This is a very important book with a clear and strong message. One of its biggest contributions is the critical light in which a number of important Polish books and cultural and literary artifacts are shown, revealing their silences as well as angles that helped present Polish Jewish history from a more positive perspective. ... it is a must-read book for graduate students and scholars interested in the debates as well as a critical overview of many critical Polish texts." (Anna Müller, The Polish Review, Vol. 69 (2), 2024)

Synopsis
1 We Are All Witnesses. Instead of an Introduction 2 Constructing the Figure of the Polish Shoah Witness 3 Alternative Narratives of the 1940s Versus the Politics of Memory 4 Hand in Hand. Calling on Witnesses to Polish-Jewish Brotherhood 5 Bearing Witness to Witnessing: Jewish Narratives About Polish "Witnesses" to the Holocaust 6 The Guilt of Indifference 7 Nostalgic Archeology and Critical Archeology 8 Documents and Fictions, This book concerns building an idealized image of the society in which the Holocaust occurred. It inspects the category of the bystander (in Polish culture closely related to the witness), since the war recognized as the axis of self-presentation and majority politics of memory. The category is of performative character since it defines the roles of event participants, assumes passivity of the non-Jewish environment, and alienates the exterminated, thus making it impossible to speak about the bystanders' violence at the border between the ghetto and the 'Aryan' side. Bystanders were neither passive nor distanced; rather, they participated and played important roles in Nazi plans. Starting with the war, the authors analyze the functions of this category in the Polish discourse of memory through following its changing forms and showing links with social practices organizing the collective memory. Despite being often critiqued, this point of dispute about Polish memory rarely belongs to mainstream culture. It also blocks the memory of Polish violence against Jews. The book is intended for students and researchers interested in memory studies, the history of the Holocaust, the memory of genocide, and the war and postwar cultures of Poland and Eastern Europe.
