Hunt for the Jews Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland

“Eschewing facile generalizations about latent or active anti-Semitism, Grabowski considers the motivations of both those who aided Jews and those who attacked them . . . Grabowski’s highly detailed reconstruction challenges the conventional wisdom of dividing the population into victims, perpetrators, and bystanders.” —Library Journal
 
“Grabowski has amassed an admirable amount of original research and presented to the reader a study that explains much about the mechanisms of destruction and how the Germans used local Poles in the Nazi extermination.” —Journal of Modern History
 
“Grabowski’s masterfully told and soberly argued study has helped drive a revolution in Holocaust studies. . . . This book is a milestone.” —John Connelly, author of From Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews
 
“A path-breaking book, opening new perspectives on how the wartime murder of Jews was carried out in Poland . . . it is a lasting and extremely important contribution to Holocaust historiography.” —Jan Tomasz Gross, author of Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland
 
“An important book, not only for the story that it tells but also for the penetrating analysis into human behavior.” —David Silberklang, Yad Vashem
 
“This short book is perhaps the most important in the recent Polish debates about Polish responsibility for the Holocaust. But it is also an inquiry into human behavior in dark times from which we can learn.” —Timothy Snyder, author of Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin
