Facing a Holocaust - The Polish Government-in-Exile and the Jews, 1943-1945 (Paperback)


"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.
