Hero, Conspiracy, and Death: The Jewish Lectures
The author asks questions like «Can a Jew be both a Jew and a Pole?», «Are we right to talk of ‘worthy’ and ‘unworthy’ death in the Holocaust?» and «What are the implications of Adam Mickiewicz’s philo-Semitism?» and offers answers tracing the history of anti-Jewish stereotypes in early nineteenth-century Poland (and beyond).
