| Summary: | Among heretofore neglected dimensions of the social history of the Holocaust, rescue and Jewish survival in specific localities figures prominently. Gunnar S. Paulsson’s Secret City: The Hidden Jews of Warsaw 1940–1945 is welcome as a pioneering and long overdue work. However, in spite of his skillful quantitative analysis and valuable observations about the phenomenon of survival itself, Paulsson’s work fails to address consistently certain major interpretive problems., The strength of Secret City lies in part in the elaboration of earlier work by a small number of scholars such as Nechama Tec, herself a survivor from Poland. |
