Abstract

In this paper I would like to discuss the proposition that attempts undertaken recently in Poland to re‐examine Polish‐Jewish relations from the Second World War fulfil a function that is far from in the interests of historical accuracy, truth and moral obligation towards the victims. I argue that the recent debate about Polish guilt for the massacre of the Jedwabne Jews in July 1941 was determined by the interests and needs of different political groups holding power in Poland a decade after the collapse of communism.
