This fascinating documentary, directed by Joanna Grudzinska, explores the controversy arising from the publication of Neighbours by Polish historian Jan T. Gross, which challenges entrenched narratives of Polish victimhood during World War II. Gross argues that the perpetrators of the 1941 pogrom in Jedwabne, in which 1,600 Jews were murdered, were not the Nazis as long believed, but the victims’ own neighbours and fellow townspeople. Despite corroboration by other historians and compelling testimony from eyewitnesses and the sole survivor, Gross’s research sparked a deeply polarizing culture war, revealing the deep roots of Polish antisemitism amid widespread national denialism.
