The opening essay raises the difficult subject of relations between Poles and Jews in 1944-1946. The two following essays are attempts to confront two theses propagated by the communist authorities - accusations regarding the responsibility of the opposition underground for instigating the pogrom, and the passivity of the Polish Catholic Church hierarchy in the face of violence against Jews.
