[Contested Memories] is the first attempt since the fall of Communism to reassess the existing historiography of Polish-Jewish relations just before, during, and after the Second World War. In the spirit of detached scholarly inquiry, these essays fearlessly challenge commonly held views on both sides of the debates.[1]


Among the contributing writers to Contested Memories are some notable scholars of the Holocaust as well as professors of leading universities including Zvi Gitelman, Nechama Tec, Israel Gutman, Henry Abramson, Samuel Kassow, Dariusz Stola, David Engel, Stanisław Krajewski, Feliks Tych, Gunnar S. Paulsson, and Michael C. Steinlauf.[3]


A 2018 Polish edition of The Polish Underground and the Jews, 1939–1945 [5] contains a number of corrections.
