Between Nazis and Soviets: Occupation Politics in Poland, 1939-1947

By Marek Jan Chodakiewicz

Between 1939 and 1947 the county of Jan w Lubelski, an agricultural area in central Poland, experienced successive occupations by Nazi Germany (1939-44) and the Soviet Union (1944-47). During each period the population, including the Polish majority and the Jewish, Ukrainian, and German minorities, reacted with a combination of accommodation, collaboration, and resistance. In this remarkably detailed and revealing study, Marek Jan Chodakiewicz analyzes and describes the responses of the inhabitants of occupied Jan w to the policies of the ruling powers. Casting new light on social dynamics within occupied Poland during and after World War II, Between Nazis and Soviets yields valuable insight for scholars of conflict studies.
