Hero, conspiracy, and death the Jewish lecturers

With Hero, Conspiracy and Death: The Jewish Lectures, the author has written a book of sweeping significance for readers interested in Polish history, Jewish history, and the Holocaust in which she asks troubling questions: Can a Jew be both a Jew and a Pole? Are we right to talk of worthy and unworthy death in the Holocaust? What are the implications of Adam Mickiewicz''s philo-Semitism? In Zygmunt Krasinski''s anti-Semitism, do we see the specter of elimination? Are humanist and enlightenment values useful in analyzing the Holocaust, or did the experience of Nazi genocide render them obsolet.
