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).
With Hero, Conspiracy and Death: The Jewish Lectures, the author has written a book of sweeping significance for readers interested in Polish history, Jewish history, and the Holocaust in which she asks troubling questions: Can a Jew be both a Jew and a Pole? Are we right to talk of «worthy» and «unworthy» death in the Holocaust? What are the implications of Adam Mickiewiczs philo-Semitism? In Zygmunt Krasinskis anti-Semitism, do we see the «specter of elimination»? Are humanist and enlightenment values useful in analyzing the Holocaust, or did the experience of Nazi genocide render them obsolete? Tracing the history of anti-Jewish stereotypes in early nineteenth-century Poland (and beyond), the author offers answers to these questions that are bold, clear and compassionate.
