SUMMARY:YIVO Presents: Holocaust Distortion in Poland\, A Comparative European Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust distortion in Poland involves reshaping or minimizing facts about the Holocaust\, often emphasizing Polish victimhood while obscuring instances of local collaboration\, participation\, or indifference. It appears in political rhetoric\, memory laws\, public commemorations\, and attacks on critical scholarship. YIVO’s Poland vs. Holocaust History series examines these dynamics and situates the Polish case within a broader European context. \nThis lecture by Jan Grabowski will examine the phenomenon of Holocaust distortion in Poland within a broader comparative European framework. It explores how historical narratives about the Holocaust are reshaped\, minimized\, or selectively reinterpreted in public discourse\, politics\, education\, and law. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between state-sponsored memory policies\, nationalist narratives\, and scholarly research\, as well as to the pressures faced by historians and educators. By comparing developments in Poland with those in other European countries—including Hungary\, Lithuania\, Germany\, and Russia—the lecture highlights both shared patterns and national specificities in confronting difficult pasts. The discussion addresses legal instruments\, public controversies\, commemorative practices\, and the role of civil society in shaping Holocaust memory. Ultimately\, the lecture asks how and why Holocaust distortion emerges\, what distinguishes distortion from legitimate historical debate\, and what the consequences are for democratic culture\, academic freedom\, and Europe’s collective understanding of the Holocaust. \nThis online event will take place via Zoom at 1:00pm ET. \nClick here for More Info / Registration
