Using a variety of archival documents, testimonies, and memoirs, Zimmerman offers a careful, dispassionate narrative, arguing that the reaction of the Polish Underground to the catastrophe that befell European Jewry was immensely varied, ranging from aggressive aid to acts of murder. By analyzing the military, civilian, and political wings of the Polish Underground and offering portraits of the organization's main leaders, this book is the first full-length scholarly monograph in any language to provide a thorough examination of the Polish Underground's attitude and behavior towards the Jews during the entire period of World War II-- Provided by Publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 419-436) and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Pariser Friedenskonferenz 1919-1920 Paris Polish Delegation gnd Subject World War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- Poland Jews -- Persecutions -- Poland -- History -- 20th century World War, 1939-1945 -- Jewish resistance -- Poland.
