Symbiosis and Ambivalence

The book delves into the resurgence of interest in Polish-Jewish history, particularly highlighting the complex interplay of Polish anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, which saw the devastating annihilation of European Jews in Poland. It examines the critical events from 1946 to 1968, including pogroms and anti-Semitic campaigns, which prompted a long-overdue public discourse after decades of silence. The narrative ultimately confronts the pervasive belief that Polish-Jewish relations are fundamentally marred by historical anti-Semitism.
