    Abstract: Criticizes the work by Richard C. Lukas, "The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles under German Occupation, 1939-1944" (1986), for adopting a biased view of Polish-Jewish relations before and during World War II. Lukas claimed that there was little antisemitism in Polish society, that this antisemitism was largely caused by Jewish behavior, and that if Poles did not do more to help Jews during the Holocaust it was because they were victims no less than the Jews. Argues that this view was based on a distorted reading of limited sources, and that Lukas presented the perception of Jewish-Soviet collaboration as a reality and ignored documentary evidence of antisemitism in Poland and in Anders' Army. Followed on pp. 580-590 by a response from Lukas arguing that issues of prewar Polish-Jewish relations were not central to his work, accusing Jewish historians of neglecting Polish sources, and reiterating his views and the documentary evidence on which they are based.

    Abstract: An unprecedented aspect of Nazi genocide in World War II was the cold and deliberate decision not to spare the children. Jewish children, first driven into the ghettos, were marked for total destruction as part of the "Final Solution" once it was put into effect, in 1942. Gentile children were starved, killed, or Germanized in order to reduce the Polish nation to a small complement of semi-literate slaves tending the Herrenvolk in their thousand-year Reich. This record also includes accounts of how they fought back by working for the underground, smuggling food into the ghettos, attending secret classes to continue their forbidden education. Included are stories of villains like Mengele who selected children for execution during Jewish religious holidays; Rudolph Hoess, Auschwitz's commandant who admitted his own discomfort when he witnessed the gassing of prisoners with the excuse: "I was a soldier and an officer"; a heroic Dr. Janusz Korczak who was in charge of an orphanage in the ghetto, but refused to leave his orphans, and at the head of a contingent of 192 children and 8 staff members, erect, his eyes looking into the distance, held the hands of two children as he led them to the railroad platform where trains took them to certain death. Based on vast research in the United States, Great Britain, and Poland, many interviews, theses and other papers, documents and official histories, memoirs, autobiographies, articles, periodicals and newspapers, Did the Children Cry? stands as a monument to millions of children who were bombed, wounded, deported, raped, starved, maimed, subjected to "medical" experimentation, and killed in German-occupied Poland.

    Abstract: Since its first publication in 1986, this book has become a classic of World War II literature. The revised edition includes a short history of Zegota, the underground government organization working to save the Jews, and an annotated listing of many Poles executed by the Germans for trying to shelter and save the Jews. As Norman Davies concludes, the book "effectively puts to rest those most harmful stereotypes about 'Nazi murderers,' 'Jewish victims' and 'Polish bystanders.' In reality, the murderers were not just Nazis; the victims were not just Jews; and bystanding was one of the least representative of Polish wartime activities."
