Barbara Engelking (born 22 April 1962 in Warsaw) is Polish psychologist, sociologist and historian and author who specializes in the history of the Holocaust. She is founder and director of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research in Warsaw.
Education and career
Engelking received a Ph.D. in sociology at the Polish Academy of Sciences and an M.A. in psychology at the University of Warsaw. She specializes in the history of the Holocaust in Poland and has written numerous publications in various languages.[1]
She is the founder and director of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 2014 Engelking is chairwoman of the International Auschwitz Council .
Barbara Engelking protested against construction of a memorial of the righteous near the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. [2]
Reception
Historian Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe reviewed Engelking's Such a Beautiful Sunny Day in H-Soz-Kult, writing that her study was an example of noteworthy explorations of the Polish participation in the Holocaust, challenging both the German tendency to neglect non-German perpetrators and the Polish perspective of viewing Poles solely as victims.[3]
Historian Samuel Kassow, in a review essay in Yad Vashem Studies, wrote of Engelking's work, and three other scholars (Jan Grabowski, Alina Skibinska, and Dariusz Libionka), that they "are a historical achievement of the first order." He described them as undermining "the self-serving myths about Polish-Jewish relations in World War II", and as being works of careful and objective scholarship.[4]
Controversies
The historian Piotr Gontarczyk accuses of "thick scientific fraud"[5] and "scientific mystification"[6] the publication of Barbara Engelking and Jan Grabowski titled "Dalej jest noc. Losy Żydów w wybranych powiatach okupowanej Polski"[7] published by the Polish Center for Holocaust Research. In the interviews with weekly magazine "Sieci" and Polish Press Agency Gontarczyk says that there were "Dantean scenes" in the Bochnia ghetto involving the Jewish police but there were no Poles there. In the book "The Jewish police have disappeared, they have put in Polish – that's a big deal" said the historian.
Gontarczyk emphasizes that the misinformation he pointed is just one of several inaccuracies contained in the publication. He also says that he is waiting for the authors to speak.
