By combining historical and political analysis with a sophisticated sociological approach, Jane Gross offers a new itnerpretations of the German occupation of Poland during World War II. Based on his hypothesis that a society cannot be destroyed by coercion short of the physical annihilation of its members, his work has a twofold aim; to examine the model of German occupation in theory and in practice, and to identify the patterns of collective behavior that emerged among the Polish people in response to the social control exercised over them. The author argues taht when an occupier provdies no institutions through which a lcoal population can at least minimally satisfy its social needs, the subjugated populace builds substituted institutions on the remnants of previous forms of its collective life. These substitutes constitute the society's self-defense, to which the occupier must in some way adjust if its goals of manipulation and exploitation are to be achieved. Professor Gross points out numerous ways in which the Poles under the General gouvernement circumvented the goals and authority of the German occupiers. Most significant was the emergence of the Polish underground, which took on the leadership, social welfare, political, and financial functions of an independent state. This phenomenon, he concludes, shows that resistance should not be conceived merely as a military movement but rather as a complex social phenomenon. Jan Tomasz Gross is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University. Originally published in 1979.

Offering a rare glimpse into the lives of those who lived through the German occupation of Poland's capital, this important ethnography explores how elderly residents of Warsaw recollect, narrate, and commemorate their experiences, thus showing how the cultural legacies of the occupation reveal themselves in contemporary Polish society. The individuals who are the focus of this study, all long-time residents of the Warsaw neighborhood Zoliborz, responded to the daily deprivations and brutality of the German occupation by joining branches of the Polish underground, ultimately participating in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944—during which their neighborhood was burned, but not destroyed—as soldiers, couriers, and medics. Using life histories and ethnographic fieldwork, Tucker examines the ways that her informants recovered from the rupture of war, arguing that this process was connected to efforts to rebuild the city itself. Remembering Occupied Warsaw makes an important contribution to studies of collective memory. A moving work of oral history, this book will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, and East European studies, as well as general readers interested in Polish history.

This book is not only an explanation of the political dynamic that led to the Polish "revolution" and the birth of Solidarity in 1980 and 1981 but an extremely important analysis of postwar East Central Europe. Although intimately involved with various aspects of Solidarity's activities, Jadwiga Staniszkis maintains a detached and critical attitutde toward the movement. Dr. Saniszkis was one of seven advisers allowed in the Gdansk shipyard during the strikes of August 1980, negotiating on behalf of the workers. Offering interpretations of events made virtually as they were occurring, she is still able to weave these interpretations into an analytic scheme that is clearly the work of a profound and original sociologist. The author demonstrates how the authoritarian regime of Poland succeeded in incorporating and, as it were, domesticating developments that would be seen by a less astute observer (or by a traditional social scientist) as disruptive or threatening to the system's stability. Moving beyond analyses derived from totalitarian and interest group models for the study of "socialist" societies, she attempts to understand present-day Poland as a corporatist society. A sociologist of organizations, she clarifies the intricate system of mechanisms that compensates for the irrationalities produced by the ideological restrictions of Polish society. Sensitive to the symbolic manipulation in social control, she analyzes such phenomena as simulation of interest group representation and ritualization of the periodic crises of the regime. This work is a major contribution to our understanding of the so-called people's democracies. Jadwiga Staniszkis received her Ph.D. and habilitation (Docent) in sociology at the University of Warsaw. Her dissertation, "Pathologies of Organizational Structure," won the Polish Sociological Association Prize in 1976. Dr. Staniszkis visited the United States twice, as the fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies and as a recipient of the Eisenhower Fellowship, Jan T.

"German Occupation of Poland" is a shocking report prepared by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1941. It describes in horrifying detail the Nazi reign of terror in German-occupied Poland. Included are texts of immoral Nazi laws designed to destroy the Polish culture and enslave its population. Also included are detailed eyewitness accounts of Nazi atrocities-the theft of national treasures, seizure of personal property, deportation of Poles to Germany as forced labor and Polish Jews to ghettos, torture, rape, forced sterilisations, summary executions and mass killings. There are harrowing accounts of Poles executed on the spot for even the slimmest of offenses; in one case a young boy scout simply for wearing his uniform and then his father for trying to intercede. Incomprehensible stories of cruelty-bodies of those executed publicly displayed as a warning to others; whole villages expelled or exterminated, sometimes by locking them inside burning buildings; Polish girls abducted and sent to brothels as punishment against their relatives or their villages; prisoners of war tortured and executed as well as the old, sick, feeble and others considered "useless consumers." A chilling description of life and death at a concentration camp in Auschwitz is also included. This report was meant as a cry for help to Allied partners. But in 1941, while the Allies were sympathetic to the plight of the Poles, they were preoccupied in protecting their own homelands against the Nazi military juggernaut. Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa and Canada had already declared war on Germany. The Soviet Union had bombed Sweden and Germany invaded Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland and then France. The Germans had unleashed a bombing campaign on London from August to November 1940 that claimed the lives of 40,000 British citizens. Originally titled, The German Occupation of Poland: An Extract of Note Addressed to the Governments of the Allied and Neutral Powers on May 3, 1941, it superseded an earlier report commonly known as the Polish White Book, published in 1940. But while the Polish White Book is readily available on the internet, this later report is extremely rare and contains additional documents not contained in the White Book. Great care has been taken in editing this book to retain all the original German and Polish spellings, complete with kreskas, kropkas, ogoneks, strokes, and umlauts. Where words were italicized in the 1941 report to denote foreign words or for emphasis, they are also italicized here to preserve the original intent. The text has also been lightly edited to correct simple grammar and spelling errors. Where edits are more comprehensive, explanatory footnotes are provided. At the time this report was submitted to the Allies, the Polish Government still desperately clung to hopes of rescue. Sadly, it never came. Tragically, as Polish Government officials were to discover, there was no way to avoid what was to come-the deaths of six million Poles-including three million Polish Jews-the theft of private fortunes and public treasures, the wanton destruction of whole cities, including Warsaw, the once elegant capital of Poland. This report is a tragic testament to man's capacity for evil and destruction, if good men do nothing, or sadly, hesitate too long.

Up to 1939, when Poland came under German domination, it was the center of the European Jewish world, filled with a large Jewish population that had lived on Polish soil for over nine centuries, and developed a vibrant self-sustaining social and religious community culture. During the German occupation of World War II, close to 3 million Polish Jews were exterminated. Poland was where the Nazis established most of their ghettos and all death camps. It was where the railroad tracks converged, bringing hundreds of thousand Jews from the remotest corners of Europe to feed the Nazi death machine. Thousands of Poles risked their lives to save Jews by mostly sheltering them, while most others were passive onlookers, fearful for their lives to get involved, and too many others collaborated with the hated enemy in eliminating Jews. Mordecai Paldiel, a historian of the Holocaust, examines the important role Jews played in Poland in the years before Germans occupied the country. He also examines the antisemitism that existed in Poland before the Nazis arrived. Just as important, he highlights the various responses of Poles as witnesses of the German extermination of Jews, including the thousands who, in spite of the dangers to themselves, did their utmost to save Jews from the German-orchestrated Holocaust.
