Early life and education
Jan Grabowski was born on June 24, 1962, in Warsaw, Poland, to a Jewish father, a Holocaust survivor and chemistry professor from Kraków, and a Catholic mother.[6] His father participated in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. While studying at the University of Warsaw, where he earned a MA in 1986, Grabowski engaged in anti-communist activism.[6] Following the relaxation of travel restrictions by Poland’s communist regime, he emigrated to Canada in 1986.[6] He later completed a PhD in history at the Université de Montréal.[a][1] Since 1993, Grabowski has been a professor at the University of Ottawa.[6]
Career and research
Grabowski’s scholarship focuses on the Holocaust in Poland, particularly Polish-Jewish relations and local collaboration under Nazi occupation.[1] His work challenges narratives that minimize Polish complicity, arguing that many Poles contributed to Jewish persecution.[6] His 2013 book, Hunt for the Jews: Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland, documents Polish betrayals of Jews, earning the 2014 Yad Vashem International Book Prize.[7] In 2022, he co-edited Night without End, a comprehensive study of Jewish experiences in occupied Poland. ...From Wikipedia
Co-founder in 2003 of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research, in Warsaw, Poland, Grabowski is best known for his book Hunt for the Jews: Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland (2013), which won the Yad Vashem International Book Prize.
Early life and education
Grabowski was born in Warsaw to a Roman Catholic mother and Jewish father.[9] His father, Zbigniew Ryszard Grabowski né Abrahamer, a Holocaust survivor and chemistry professor[10] from Kraków, fought in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.[11]
While at the University of Warsaw, Grabowski was active in the Independent Students' Union between 1981 and 1985, where he helped to run an underground printing press for the Solidarity movement. He received his M.A. in 1986,[12] and in 1988 he emigrated to Canada after travel restrictions had been eased by Poland's communist government.[11] If he had known the regime would fall a year later, he would have stayed, he told an interviewer: "When I left in 1988 I thought there was no future for any young person in Poland. It felt like you were looking at the world through a thick wall of glass. It was sort of an un-reality ... the rules were oblique, strange, inhuman even. Then after one year the system seemed to collapse like a house of cards."[12] He received his Ph.D. from the Université de Montréal in 1994 for a thesis entitled The Common Ground. Settled Natives and French in Montréal 1667–1760.[13]
Academic appointments
Grabowski became a faculty member at the University of Ottawa in 1993.[11] In 2016–17 he was an Ina Levine Invitational Scholar at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where he conducted research into the Blue Police for a project entitled "Polish 'Blue' Police, Bystanders, and the Holocaust in Occupied Poland, 1939–1945".[14][15] He received a grant for the project (2016–2020) from the Canadian ...
