Reception
Historian Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe reviewed Engelking's Such a Beautiful Sunny Day in H-Soz-Kult, writing that her study was an example of noteworthy explorations of the Polish participation in the Holocaust, challenging both the German tendency to neglect non-German perpetrators and the Polish perspective of viewing Poles solely as victims.[2]
Historian Samuel Kassow, in a review essay in Yad Vashem Studies, wrote of Engelking's work, and three other scholars (Jan Grabowski, Alina Skibinska, and Dariusz Libionka), that they "are a historical achievement of the first order." He described them as undermining "the self-serving myths about Polish-Jewish relations in World War II", and as being works of careful and objective scholarship.[3]
