The decisive factor dictating the choice of research subjects by the Institute is the Institute of National Remembrance1 Act, which defines its time frame, 1918–1989, the subject matter as the fate of Polish Jews and the Polish-Jewish relations, and the geographical focus on events occurring on Polish lands. The German occupation period is of particular interest. Works published at the Institute are generally the results of research conducted individually by staff members. The emergence of central research projects has brought more coordination. The subject matter in question has been covered under the project “Extermination of Jews on Polish Lands”, in 2017 transformed into the project “Polish-Jewish Relations in 1918–1968”.2 The two projects are closely linked to another initiative, titled “Index of Poles persecuted for helping Jews”, the principal idea of which is to create a full database of biog- raphies of Polish people who suffered for helping Jews during World War II.3 The project was conceived and initiated in 2005 by the Institute of Strategic 1 http://ipn.gov.pl/en/about-the-ipn/documents/327,The-Act-on-the-Institute-of- National-Remembrance.html. 2 http://ipn.gov.pl/pl/nauka/badania-naukowe/24330,Centralne-Projekty-Badawcze-IPN. html (in Polish). 3 A digital database of information on Poles persecuted for helping Jews is available at www. zyciezazycie.pl in Polish. 7 Studies in Kraków, which also assumed the organizational patronage of the project. The Institute of National Remembrance conducts this research in cooperation with the Head Office of State Archives, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and the Yad Vashem Institute. The results of research conducted by the Institute’s staff are successively published in the form of books and articles in scholarly and popular jour- nals. The IPN has significant achievements in this field.4 The most important published works5 are worthy of particular attention. Another significant aspect is that the publications played a vital role in the public debate on two tragic events from the 1940s; the pogroms in Jedwabne and Kielce.6 Findings presented in both these volumes continue to form the scientific basis for a substantive discussion on both issues. It is worth noting that, in comparison with other countries of Central and East- ern Europe, Poland’s debate on the events described in these publications is truly groundbreaking. The publications include texts devoted to Polish-Jew- ish relations during World War II7. Another important factor popularizing heroic attitudes was the series “Kto ratuje jedno życie…” [Whoever saves one life….], which described both the context of providing help under occupa- tion and stories of individual rescuers8. 4 For a more detailed discussion of the Institute’s research activities on Jewish topics up to 2010 see: J.

The Institute has also started to compile monographs of individual ghettos organized by the German occupying forces in Poland or selected aspects of their functioning10, as well as the essential figures in the history of the Shoah11. A separate group also includes albums based on the extensive iconographic material, mostly from the Archives of the Institute or other institutions12. Apart from publishing and educational activities, another important aspect of the work of the Institute of National Remembrance is the presen- tation and popularization of research results, as in this book concerning sach Żydów przechowuje ?” Polacy niosący pomoc ludności żydowskiej w okresie okupacji niemieckiej, ed.

  • THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

  • STORIES of POLISH RESISTANCE About Half of the Six Million European Jews Killed in the Holocaust Were Polish
    STORIES OF POLISH RESISTANCE About half of the six million European Jews killed in the Holocaust were Polish. In 1939 a third of the capital city Warsaw, and 10% of the entire country was Jewish. By 1945 97% of Poland's Jews were dead. These eleven examples of Polish resistance do not proport to give an overview of what happened in Irena Maximilian Emanuel Mordechai Witold Poland during The Holocaust. They have been Sendler Kolbe Ringelblum Anielewicz Pilecki chosen to reflect the unimaginably difficult choices made by both Jews and non-Jews under German occupation – where every Jew was marked for death and all non-Jews who assisted their Jewish neighbours were subject to the same fate.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION “We were taught as children”—I was told by a seventy- year-old Pole—“that we Poles never harmed anyone. A partial abandonment of this morally comfortable position is very, very difficult for me.” —Helga Hirsch, a German journalist, in Polityka, 24 February 2001 HE COMPLEX and often acrimonious debate about the charac- ter and significance of the massacre of the Jewish population of T the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941—a debate provoked by the publication of Jan Gross’s Sa˛siedzi: Historia za- głady z˙ydowskiego miasteczka (Sejny, 2000) and its English translation Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001)—is part of a much wider argument about the totali- tarian experience of Europe in the twentieth century. This controversy reflects the growing preoccupation with the issue of collective memory, which Henri Rousso has characterized as a central “value” reflecting the spirit of our time.1 One key element in the understanding of collec- tive memory is the “dark past” of nations—those aspects of the na- tional past that provoke shame, guilt, and regret; this past needs to be integrated into the national collective identity, which itself is continu- ally being reformulated.2 In this sense, memory has to be understood as a public discourse that helps to build group identity and is inevita- bly entangled in a relationship of mutual dependence with other iden- tity-building processes.

  • Risk Management in Crisis: Winners and Losers During the COVID-19 Pandemic/Piotr Jedynak and Sylwia Bąk
    Risk Management in Crisis Risk management is a domain of management which comes to the fore in crisis. This book looks at risk management under crisis conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The book synthesizes existing concepts, strategies, approaches and methods of risk management and provides the results of empirical research on risk and risk management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research outcome was based on the authors’ study on 42 enterprises of different sizes in various sectors, and these firms have either been negatively affected by COVID-19 or have thrived successfully under the new conditions of conducting business activities. The anal- ysis looks at both the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the selected enter- prises and the risk management measures these enterprises had taken in response to the emerging global trends. The book puts together key factors which could have determined the enterprises’ failures and successes. The final part of the book reflects on how firms can build resilience in chal- lenging times and suggests a model for business resilience. The comparative anal- ysis will provide useful insights into key strategic approaches of risk management. Piotr Jedynak is Professor of Management. He works at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, where he holds the positions of Vice-Rector for Financial and HR Policy and Head of the Management Systems Department. He specializes in risk management, strategic management and management systems. He is the author of numerous publications, an auditor and consultant to many public and business organizations. Sylwia Bąk holds a PhD in Management Sciences.

  • JUL 29 Poland Between the Wars BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT | Delivered in English
    MONDAY Coming of Age: Jewish Youth in JUL 29 Poland between the Wars BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT | Delivered in English During the 1930s, the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research organized three competitions for youth autobiographies. These extraordinary documents – more than 600 of them were submitted – are unique testimony to the hopes and dreams, as well as to the reality of those who were growing up in Poland at the time. Mayer Kirshenblatt, who was born in Opatów (Yiddish: Apt) in 1916, could well have been one of those autobiographers. Although he did not enter the competition, he did recall his youth much later during interviews recorded by his daughter during the last forty years of his life. This illustrated lecture will relate the youth autobiographies written in real time, by youth who had no idea of what the future would hold, with Mayer’s recollections in words and paintings many years later. The talk will include a short film about Mayer’s return to his hometown and how he was received by those living there today. Finally, the talk will consider the role of the youth autobiographies and Mayer’s childhood memories in POLIN Museum’s Core Exhibition. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett is Chief Curator of the Core Exhibition at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and University Professor Emerita and Professor Emerita of Performance Studies at New York University. Her books include Destination Culture: Tourism, Museums, and Heritage; Image before My Eyes: A Photographic History of Jewish Life in Poland, 1864–1939 (with Lucjan Dobroszycki); and They Called Me Mayer July: Painted Memories of a Jewish Childhood in Poland Before the Holocaust (with Mayer Kirshenblatt).
