The Holocaust in the Polish Countryside is the much-awaited English translation of the award-winning book by Alina Skibinska. Complete with a Foreword by Neighbors and Golden Harvest author Jan T. Gross, the book is in part the incredibly moving first-hand witness testimony of Tadeusz Markiel and his recollection of life as a Polish, Catholic boy in the rural town of Gniewczyna. His narrative, supplemented with extensive academic footnotes from Alina Skibinska, recounts life in the Polish countryside prior to the Nazis, before describing in horrifying detail the torture, rape, pillaging and betrayal of his Jewish neighbours that took place. Skibinska, a founding member of the world-renowned Polish Centre for Holocaust Research, then builds on this with a sensitive historical account that serves to corroborate, enrich and contextualise Markiel's testimony. This book, which also includes useful transcripts from post-war trials and correspondence between residents and former residents of Gniewczyna, is of incredible significance to anyone seeking to further their understanding of the Holocaust.
It provides readers with extensive source material in English here for the first time and delivers new insights into burgeoning Holocaust studies topics like the pillaging of the Jews, the Holocaust in rural areas, and notions concerning the witness and the role of the past in the present.
