The announcement in December 1942 by the Polish government-in-exile that the Germans were attempting to exterminate all Jews in Poland came after much information had reached the West through other sources. The Polish government's action and inaction in releasing the information was the result of the complex weighing by the government's concept of its obligations to the Jewish citizens of Poland.

Reviews

"[Engel's] grasp of the developments of Polish policies in London is masterly, and the picture he presents is both careful and clear. His conclusions are very convincing."--Holocaust and Genocide Studies
