Kurzfassung:
Hundreds of articles and books have appeared on the subject of the Holocaust in Poland. However, few are as important, as methodologically innovative, or as emotionally compelling as this massive two-volume, 1700-page study, Dalej jest Noc: Losy Żydów w wybranych powiatach okupowanej Polski, edited by Jan Grabowski and Barbara Engelking and published by the Stowarzyszenie Centrum Badań nad Zagladą Żydów (Center for the Study of the Holocaust) in 2018. It stands as a stark challenge to a nation struggling to better understand its past.A key feature of these volumes is the concentration on microhistory, which utilizes focused case studies on a micro level in order to gain wider historical insight; this is exceptionally well suited to the study of the Holocaust. Such methodology requires a wide range of sources, and in this respect the book does not disappoint. The two volumes of Dalej jest Noc are well produced and well edited. There are voluminous and helpful footnotes, statistical tables, rare photographs, and a very impressive bibliography. The reviewer is hopeful that Dalej jest Noc will be translated into other languages as soon as possible.
