Summary/Abstract: Mirosław Tryczyk’s first book on the participation of Poles in the HolocaustMiasta śmierci (cities of death), Sąsiedzkie pogromy Żydów (neighbors’ pogroms of Jews) was published in 2015. Speaking with the voices of the victims, perpetrators and bystanders, the author described the crimes committed in several places in Białystok in the summer of 1941. He reconstructed the appalling trajectory of the murders based on the repetition of similar sequences of events. The publication of Miasta śmierci did not lead to heated controversies boiling or mobilization on the side of the defenders of Polish innocence, who usually mobilize as soon as the subject of the participation of Poles in the Holocaust is brought light. For some reason Tryczyk was spared this spectacle of public chastising. In view of the silence of the usually sonorous defenders of the good of the Poles, serious allegations against the author of the book were made in the historical reviews. What specifically did they relate to? What was the reception among historians ? What conclusions can be drawn from that discussion? The article attempts to answer these and other questions.
