Title The murder of the Jews by the Nazis as perceived in the Polish press, 1942-1947.
Original Library/publisher Aktion Reinhardt
la destruction des juifs de Pologne 1942-1943 - chroniques et témoignages. Rédacteur en chef: Georges Bensoussan. Paris: Centre de la documentation juive contemporaine, 2012
Host Item Yad Vashem Studies 34 (2006) 125-176
Description Examines the wartime Polish underground press, as well as the press of the transitional period between Nazi and Soviet dominance, official and underground. Analyzes the relationship between the views of ethnic Poles regarding the Nazi mass murder of Jews and popular attitudes toward the Jewish survivors immediately after the end of the German occupation. During the war the views of the press mirrored the differences between political groups in the underground - pro-Delegatura, socialist left, extreme right, national Catholic, peasant movement, pro-Sanacja, and communists - and showed a broad spectrum of opinion regarding the Jews: from compassion and recognizing the Jews as part of the Polish nation to gratification for what the Nazis were doing and denying the right of Jews to live in Poland after the war (extreme right). After the war, the pro-communist forces downplayed the Nazi murder of Jews, regarding the Poles as the main victims. But at the same time they used the Holocaust in their struggles against political opponents. The press attempted to downplay the wide participation of Poles in postwar pogroms. There was a tendency among right-wingers to bridge the political gap between pro-communist and anti-communist Poles with antisemitism.
