| Summary: | The four authors reviewed here all look back at Poland's Jewish history, focusing on developments before, during, and after the Nazi Judeocide. This period was marked by endless discourse on Poland's “Jewish question” or, as it was called later, the “Jewish theme” (tematyka żydowska). This theme was present in Polish history through all the ruptures—with all their brutal consequences for the Polish people—and through the sequence of extremist political regimes that shaped (East Central) European history in the first half of the twentieth century. The legacies of these political forces continue to influence postwar discussions of the national politics of commemoration. |
