abstract
  • At the time of the book's publication, the horrors of the Nazi program of extermination of the Jews were well known. The fact that ordinary Poles in Jedwabne following Soviet–German invasion took it upon themselves to massacre their Jewish neighbors in the presence of German gendarmes, was less known. The book has generated much controversy and vigorous debate in Poland and abroad, and led to more forensic studies and discussions with regards to Polish-Jewish relations. In the book Gross described how the massacre was perpetrated by non-Jewish civilians and not by the German invaders, as previously assumed. A subsequent investigation conducted by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) largely supported Gross's conclusions. The IPN investigation concluded that "residents of Jedwabne and its environs, of Polish nationality, committed these acts," although Gross's estimate of 1,600 victims "seems highly unlikely." The IPN found evidence only for a range of 250 to 340, while other Polish estimates suggested from 600 to close to 1,000.
