News vom 09.04.2026

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new scholarly work:

Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe, Jan Gadomski, Mayor of Otwock, and the Holocaust: Collaboration, Agency, and Communal Politics.
Jerusalem: Yad Vashem, 2025.

This important study examines the role of Jan Gadomski, mayor of Otwock, within the broader context of the Holocaust. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book explores themes of collaboration, individual agency, and local political dynamics under Nazi occupation. It offers new insights into the complexities of communal leadership and moral responsibility during one of the most tragic periods in modern history.

The publication represents a significant contribution to Holocaust studies and East Central European history, and will be of interest to scholars, students, and all those engaged with questions of memory, responsibility, and historical interpretation.
