In his monumental 1932 novel “Journey to the End of the Night,” the French writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline wrote that the truly most important things happen undercover. “There is no doubt of this. We know nothing about a person’s real story.”
Ofer Aderet, Haaretz’s history correspondent, thinks he is capable of explaining to us, uninformed readers, the true story of a man, even a difficult and complex story such as the one that took place in Nazi-occupied Poland. Aderet claims that I’m not an expert in Chinese philosophy after I wrote that the murder and saving of Jews in Poland are two intertwined phenomena that characterized the reality created by the German occupation. Indeed, I’m no expert in Chinese philosophy, but I am one on the history of the Holocaust.

Readers who have been following the stories written by Haaretz correspondent Ofer Aderet on the research of historian Jan Grabowski (Haaretz, Jan. 18, Jan. 27 and Jan. 31, 2021) could reach the conclusion that Poland is now conducting a trial that resembles the famous Dreyfus trial that took place in France at the end of the 19th century.
Prof. Grabowski, a Polish historian who lives in Canada today and teaches at Ottawa University, and whose Jewish father fought in the Warsaw Revolt in 1944, has published ground-breaking research on the relations between Polish society and the Jews during the period of the Nazi occupation, and on Polish participation in the murder of Jews.
