| Summary: | Scholars continue to scrutinize Jewish and non-Jewish responses to the Holocaust. This research has swept aside shallow dichotomies of “good” and “evil.” No longer do we accept interpretations that paint all Jews as the former because of their victimization and self-reliant resistance, and all Gentiles as the latter for their alleged passivity or their outright collaboration in the atrocities. Recently scholars have focused much more on Eastern Europe. Their work has helped dispel long-held myths about the relationship between Jews and non-Jews. Studies such as Gunnar S. Paulsson's Secret City: The Hidden Jews of Warsaw, 1940–1945 force a reevaluation of simplistic characterizations. |
