Poland Is Not Yet Lost
But its leaders remain determined to give disaster a chance. Poland is one of Europe’s relative success stories. It avoided the severe slump that afflicted much of the European periphery, then had a fairly strong recovery: As you can see, growth has faltered more recently, largely due to fiscal austerity plus the puzzling decision to emulate the ECB and raise interest rates in 2011. Still, by Euro
Polish protests
ANTI-GOVERNMENT protests at the weekend saw an estimated 50,000 demonstrators in the streets of Warsaw, under the slogan "Wake up, Poland". Most were supporters of Law and Justice, the biggest opposition party, which is eurosceptic and conservative on social issues such as abortion and gay rights, but veers towards socialism on economic policy.
US 'hushed up' Soviet guilt over Katyn
Those killed were officers and other members of the Polish elite New evidence appears to back the idea that the Roosevelt administration helped cover up Soviet guilt for the 1940 Katyn massacre of Polish soldiers. Historians said documents, released by the US National Archives, supported the suspicion that the US did not want to anger its wartime ally, Joseph Stalin.
A Polish Historian’s Accounting of the Holocaust Divides His Countrymen
In the area of the former death camp at Treblinka, Polish militia members came upon people plundering jewelry from murdered Jews. Most academic historians labor in obscurity. But in Poland last year, a Princeton professor’s slim volume of Holocaust history became a controversial best seller. The publisher, Znak, saw its e-mail addresses bombarded, its business threatened with a boycott, and the ar

Before the Nazis: A Ukrainian City's Contested Past | Philippe Sands
Tucked away in the far western corner of present-day Ukraine, the city of Lviv defies expectations. Far smaller than Kiev, it was a closed city during the Soviet period from 1945 to 1991, and even today remains relatively little known. Yet in the early twentieth century, it was home to a roughly equal number of Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews and as a result the city played a special and largely unrec
Hitler vs. Stalin: Who Was Worse? | Timothy Snyder
La Documentation Francaise Soon after liberation, an emaciated child survivor is carried out of camp barracks by Soviet first-aid workers. Auschwitz, Poland, after January 27, 1945 As we recall the Red Army’s liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, sixty-six years ago today, we might ask: who was worse, Hitler or Stalin? In the second half of the twentieth century, Americans were taught to se
The Holocaust We Don’t See: Lanzmann’s ‘Shoah’ Revisited | Timothy Snyder
Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, opening this month in New York twenty-five years after its original release, is one of the great works of art of the twentieth century. As it begins, Simon Srebnik, a Polish Jew who was one of two survivors of Chełmno, returns to the death facility at Lanzmann’s request, and sings a song of his boyhood—about a white house, a house that is no longer—in the language of a cou
