This book offers a study of the Jewish community in Kielce and its environs during World War II and the Holocaust. It is the first of its kind in providing a comprehensive account of Kielce’s Jews and their history as victims under the German occupation. The book focuses in particular on Jewish-Polish relations in the Kielce region; the deportation of the Jews of Kielce and its surrounding areas to the Treblinka death camp; the difficulties faced by those attempting to help and save them; and daily life in the Small Ghetto from September 1942 until late May 1943.

“Sara Bender’s In Enemy Land: The Jews of Kielce and theRegion, 1939-1946, appears at a time when Holocaust history is under newpressures. These pressures are most evident in Poland, where a nationalistgovernment has seen fit – and has largely failed – to limit certain kinds ofHolocaust-related terminology if it ascribes guilt to Poles during wartime. … Bender’scarefully researched and tightly focused study of Kielce and its environs isnot directly engaged with these discussions until its concluding chapter. ButKielce, as is well known, was the site, in the spring of 1946, of the worstpostwar pogrom in liberated Poland.  Likethe wartime events in the smaller northern town of Jedwabne, the events atKielce, in which 47 Holocaust survivors were murdered in mob violence, remain aflashpoint in any postwar account of Polish-Jewish relations.” —Norman Ravvin, CanadianJewish News
