This has resulted in scientific works, popular books and educational exhibitions. The period of the Second World War has been a special and tragic ex- perience for the Polish citizens, especially of Jewish origin. The totalitar- ian states: German and the Soviet Union, used Polish lands as the place where they implemented the ideological concepts of the national social- ism or the communism. This resulted in the introduction of a universal terror system, performing criminal operations aimed at killing or de- porting millions of people. The Holocaust, extermination of intelligence, mass executions of soldiers and civilians, construction and expansion of the system of concentration camps and extermination camps, deliberate generation of inhuman living conditions, all this constituted milestones of the ‘achievements’ of the states rules by Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Various aspects of these problems have been subject of research con- ducted by the Institute of National Remembrance. This has translated into a number of publications, both scientific and popular-science. This catalogue presents those, first of all, that discuss the German policy to- wards the Jews, and particularly the Holocaust, and those that describe the relations between the Poles and the Jews.
