Gross  'Terrifying and necessary' Julian Barnes  'Scrupulously objective and profoundly personal' Kate Atkinson  On 10 July 1941 a horrifying crime was committed in the small Polish town of Jedwadbne. Early in the afternoon, the town’s Jewish population – hundreds of men, women and children – were ordered out of their homes, and marched into the town square. By the end of the day most would be dead. It was a massacre on a shocking scale, and one that was widely condemned. But only a few people were brought to justice for their part in the atrocity. The truth of what actually happened on that day was to be suppressed for more than sixty years.    Part history, part memoir, part investigation, The Crime and the Silence is an award-winning journalist's account of the events of that day: both the story of a massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537256685841,"sku":"GOR007781380","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50696964997393,"sku":"NGR9780099592525","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51559107035409,"sku":"GOR008629163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52109050249489,"sku":"GOR008197011","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0099592525.jpg?v=1751430292"},{"product_id":"crime-and-the-silence-book-anna-bikont-9780374536374","title":"The Crime and the Silence","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner\u003c\/b\u003e of the \u003cb\u003eNational Jewish Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e in the \u003cb\u003eHolocaust\u003c\/b\u003e category\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A monumental work of nonfiction on a wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Jan Gross's hugely controversial \u003ci\u003eNeighbors\u003c\/i\u003e was a historian's disclosure of the events in the small Polish town of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish population and burned them alive in a barn.
