“Poland under German Occupation is one of the most innovative, modern and well thought-out books about the German occupation of Poland during WWII that I have had the possibility to read in the last few years” • Jerzy Kochanowski, Warsaw University“This is an impressive volume, marked by detailed research and new approaches, [it] provides important new information on the Nazi occupation of Poland and elucidates the context in which the mass murder of the Jews took place. The brutal nature of this occupation emerges clearly as does the way the conflicts it engendered made Polish-Jewish collaboration very difficult to achieve.” • Antony Polonsky, Brandeis University and POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Warsaw
