In this shocking and compelling study, historian Jan Gross pieces together eyewitness accounts as well as physical evidence into a comprehensive reconstruction of the horrific July day remembered well by locals but hidden to history. Revealing wider truths about Jewish-Polish relations, the Holocaust, and human responses to occupation and totalitarianism, Gross's investigation sheds light on how Jedwabne's Jews came to be murdered-not by faceless Nazis, but by people who knew them well UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0716/2003286412-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0716/2003286412-d.html ER -
