Title	The trivialized Polish Holocaust : Connecticut Polonia's attempt to preserve the memory of the Polish gentile Holocaust survivors
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2010
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The idea for the Connecticut oral history project concerning Polish gentile Holocaust Survivors came after the broadcast of the Holocaust, a miniseries televised in four parts in 1978 on NBC which portrayed Poles unfairly. Some people highly criticized the series for being not historically accurate or even being offensive. An oral history project on the Polish survivors of the Holocaust was created in the early 1980’s in Connecticut in an effort to document the Polish gentile experiences during the Holocaust. A year long project was organized and directed by Dr. Stanislaus A. Blejwas, a coordinator of Polish Studies at Central Connecticut State University. The aim of this project was to interview Polish gentiles who survived the Holocaust as well as to record their experiences, and educate the general public about the non Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Sometime between 1979 and early 1980s, a number of articles were published in local newspapers in connection with the Holocaust remembrance and response to the way Poland was portrayed in the TV miniseries-Holocaust. The oral history project collection consists of original materials that were preserved in twelve archival boxes. These materials further consist of original, hand written notes, in Polish and English, recorded interviews, proposals, budgets, brochures, newspaper clippings, audio tape recordings, original articles related to the project, correspondence, Holocaust related literature reviews and evaluations. The materials were organized by sections, each explaining different aspect of the project. Only recently the tapes were recorded into compact discs to preserve their valuable content. The goal was to interview at last thirty Holocaust survivors to obtain a meaningful historical account that could be used for the Connecticut public radio documentary. The oral history project on the Holocaust survivors was a step toward meaningful discussions for the Polish and Jewish leaders that claim the victimhood of the Holocaust.
