Abstract
ABSTRACTThis case study shows how a micro-historical perspective can shed new light on the relations between Jews and Gentile Poles during the Holocaust and the aftermath. It questions static categories such as “bystander” or “rescuer” and focuses on the dynamics of occupation, the twists and turns in individual stories and the ongoing radicalization. The article enquires into modes of helping Jews; pre-war friendships in many cases did not prove to be resilient, and most of the time Jews had to actively ask for help and the Gentiles had to decide quickly what to do. Finally, it shows how ambivalent providing help could be.
