About the book
“Engel’s study will be the definitive statement on one dimension of a very complex problem: the relations between Jews and their countrymen in occupied Poland.” — Central European History
“A superb piece of scholarship that is impeccably researched and most elegantly written as well.” — Jan T. Gross, New York University
Within this book, Engel concludes his exploration of the Polish government-in-exile’s shifting responses toward the plight of European Jews during the Second World War. He focuses on the years 1943-45, the critical period after the free world became fully aware of Nazi Germany’s plan to destroy the Jews, and shows that the Polish government-in-exile, with its vast underground organization, was a prime target of Jewish rescue appeals. This book is the sequel to Engel’s In the Shadow of Auschwitz, published in 1987.
Originally published in 1993.
