Whitewash: Poland and the Jews

Author: Jan Grabowski

In Whitewash, Jan Grabowski brings to light the dangerous practice of Holocaust distortion through the lens of the Polish political landscape. Of the three million Polish Jews who found themselves under German occupation during World War Two, no more than 1 per cent survived the war. Poland was left with a singular burden: the responsibility to safeguard the memory of this immeasurable tragedy. Instead, Poland has emerged as a global leader in Holocaust denial and distortion, all in service of preserving the myth of an unblemished national identity.
