Description

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 UniversityWithin this book, Engel concludes his exploration of the Polish government-in-exile's shifting responses toward the plight of European Jews during the Second World War.

He focuses on the years 1943-45, the critical period after the free world became fully aware of Nazi Germany's plan to destroy the Jews, and shows that the Polish government-in-exile, with its vast underground organization, was a prime target of Jewish rescue appeals.

This book is the sequel to Engel's In the Shadow of Auschwitz, published in 1987. Originally published in 1993.
