In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Poland, the United Nations War Crimes Commission, and the Search for Justice

Michael Fleming’s new book (Director of the Institute of European Culture) has just been published by Cambridge University Press. In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Poland, the United Nations War Crimes Commission, and the Search for Justice examines the struggle to attain post-war justice and prosecution. Focusing on Poland’s engagement with the United Nations War Crimes Commission, it analyses the different ways that the Polish Government in Exile (based in London from 1940) agitated for an Allied response to German atrocities. The book shows that jurists associated with the Government in Exile made significant contributions to legal debates on war crimes. By exploring the relationship between the UNWCC and the Polish War Crimes Office under the authority of the Polish Government in Exile and later, from the summer of 1945, the Polish Government in Warsaw, the book provides a new lens through which to examine the early stages of the Cold War.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

May the magic of Christmas fill all the frosty days with warmth,

And the sparkle of the stars remind you that sometimes all you need to do is make a wish,

So may Christmas wishes have the power to come true,

The trivial and the important,

The dignified and those a bit frivolous:)

We wish you peace and serenity,Success in the professional and personal field,

Patience in pursuit of goals and satisfaction with the already achieved,

And in the New Year let all the days be as beautiful and happy as this one Christmas Eve.
