"Originally published in Polish in 2004 as 'My z Jedwabnego'"--Title page verso. Summary:  "A wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth. In 2001 Princeton University historian Jan Tomasz Gross published "Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland" which described the July 10, 1941 massacre of Jews in the Polish village of Jedwabne, when at least 340 Polish Jews of all ages were locked in a barn later set on fire, a massacre committed by their non-Jewish neighbors, not the German invaders. The massacre was a shocking secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and it provoked the most important public debate in Poland since 1989. Journalist Anna Bikont reported on the town, combing through archives and interviewing residents who survived the war period. Part history, part memoir, this is the journalist's account of these events: both the story of the massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past. Bikont chronicles the sources of the hatred that exploded against Jews and asks what myths grow on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a society that refuses to accept a horrific truth"--Provided by publisher.
