| Summary: | Jan and Irena Gross begin this extended essay with a clear and succinct statement of its subject: “the collusion of the Polish population in the pillaging and killing of Jews at the periphery of the Holocaust” (p. xiv). They proceed to examine three important issues, the first of which concerns evidence and methodology. On the one hand, the visual evidence of a photograph—such as the image of the “harvest” scene of postwar “diggers” or “gleaners” and militiamen or soldiers on the site of the Treblinka death camp that is a centerpiece of the essay—captures only a single moment in time, and key information about such photos (who took them, when and why were they taken, who is in them, etc.) is seldom known. |
