In this distinguished lecture, Professor Jan Grabowski (University of Ottawa, Canada) focuses on the recent scholarship dealing with the history of the Holocaust in Poland. The new research - based on new archival evidence - brings to light the unknown aspects of the Jewish catastrophe, sheds more light on German genocidal policies, places more weight on the agency of the Jewish victims, and raises fundamental question about the attitudes of the Polish "bystanders". Professor Grabowski also addresses the issue of the reactions of the Polish state to the findings of independent historians.
