Warsaw: Jacek Santorski & Co. Agencia Wydawnicza, Forum for Dialogue Among Nations, American Jewish Committee, 2006. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. 259, [5] pages. Editor's Note. Preface by Wladyslaw Bartoszewski. Introduction by David A. Harris. Covers have flaps. Illustrated covers. Illustrations (many in color). The book “Difficult Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue” is a collaborative work of Forum for Dialogue and the American Jewish Committee. The project was created after analyzing over one thousand questionnaires from Poland, US, Israel, Canada and Australia. In them, young Poles and Jews posed questions regarding the past, present and future of Polish/Jewish relations. Editors selected 50 most difficult and most frequently asked question for the book and had experts from Poland, Israel and the United States provide the answers. Where did Jews in Poland come from? How could it be that Poles allowed Germans to build concentration camps in their neighborhoods? Why has the Israeli army shelled districts where Palestinian civilians live? Answers to these and other questions can be found in the book Difficult Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue. ”We set out to identify which themes present the greatest difficulty for dialogue among young Poles and Jews. But we realized the difficulty these young people had in even formulating many of the “difficult questions” they would have liked answered; they worried that even putting them into words might offend the “other side.” When such questions did arise in the course of a Polish/Jewish encounter, the result was open contention – some people became agitated, others burst into tears.”– explain book editors in the preface.
