Summary/Abstract: The article aims to describe Polish-Jewish relations during the Holocaust. The text is based on documents from three American archives: the National Archives at College Park, Maryland, The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York and the Hoover In- stitution Library and Archives at Stanford University. These are mainly reports by Jewish organisations on the position of the followers of Judaism in Poland under the German oc- cupation. The American archives also contain documents of Polish provenance describing Polish-Jewish relations, including Polish attitudes towards the extermination of Jews by the Germans.
