Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, Hants, United Kingdom, 2000. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. XIV, 258 pages, last three pages blank, includes bibliography/references, index. Second-hand copy, no damage to describe, no annotations. This book is not only a survey of the Holocaust period in Poland and beyond, but goes one step further -- it attempts to uncover the sources and origins of Polish animosity towards the Jews. To understand what happened during the war one must go back to prewar Poland. Polish anti-Semitism did not begin with the German occupation. It existed in Poland for a long time, but came to surface when Poland regained her independence in 1918 after 150 years of foreign rule -- page XIII.
