Short description:
Examines the struggle to ensure that war crimes which took place during the Second World War were prosecuted.
MoreLong description:
In the midst of the Second World War, the Allies acknowledged Germany's ongoing programme of extermination. In the Shadow of the Holocaust examines the struggle to attain post-war justice and prosecution. Focusing on Poland's engagement with the United Nations War Crimes Commission, it analyses the different ways that the Polish Government in Exile (based in London from 1940) agitated for an Allied response to German atrocities. Michael Fleming shows that jurists associated with the Government in Exile made significant contributions to legal debates on war crimes and, along with others, paid attention to German crimes against Jews. By exploring the relationship between the UNWCC and the Polish War Crimes Office under the authority of the Polish Government in Exile and later, from the summer of 1945, the Polish Government in Warsaw, Fleming provides a new lens through which to examine the early stages of the Cold War.
'At a time when the Polish government seems intent on seizing the property of long-dead Jews, Michael Fleming's book provides vital fresh insights - challenging the idea of universal hostility of Christian Poles for the Jewish countryfolk. Using long secret archives of Polish efforts to get Nazis into court for the Holocaust, Fleming has constructed a factual account as gripping as any from Ian Fleming, his spy-fiction writing namesake.' Dan Plesch, author of Human Rights After Hitler
