Kurzfassung:
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.
