In the Shadow of Auschwitz: The Polish Government-in-Exile and the Jews, 1939-1942

The announcement in December 1942 by the Polish government-in-exile that the Germans were attempting to exterminate all Jews in Poland came after much information had reached the West through other sources. The Polish government's action and inaction in releasing the information was the result of the complex weighing by the government's concept of its obligations to the Jewish citizens of Poland. “Engel's study will be the definitive statement on one dimension of a very complex problem: the relations between Jews and their countrymen in occupied Poland.” - Central European History. "A superb piece of scholarship that is impeccably researched and most elegantly written as well." - Jan T. Gross, New York University
