Jan Tomasz Gross, Norman B. Tomlinson '16 and '48 Professor of War and Society, and Professor of History,
Princeton University, is the author of several books about state and society during World War II, including: Polish
Society Under German Occupation (Princeton U. Press, 1979), and Revolution from Abroad - Soviet Conquest
of Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia (Princeton U. Press, 1988).
His last three books, Neighbors: Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001),
Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz (Random House 2006), and (with Irena Grudzinska-Gross) Golden Harvest (Polish edition, Znak 2011; English edition forthcoming with Oxford University Press), have dealt with the phenomenon of robbing and murder of Jews by their fellow-citizens in Poland (and elsewhere) during World War II. These books have generated a great deal of discussion and controversy, particularly in Poland but also
worldwide, and have spawned an unprecedented amount of research and debate on these themes over the
last 10 years.
Discussant: Adam Czarnota is Associate Professor of Law, UNSW. He has written extensively on issues of ‘dealing
with the past’, otherwise known as ‘transitional justice,’ and of collective memory, particularly in the context of
central and eastern Europe. He has published widely on these matters and at present is editing a book on
Transitional Justice and the Rule of Law.
