In October 2013, Professor Jan T. Gross, the Norman B. Tomlinson '16 and '48 Professor of War and Society at Princeton University, presented two lectures in the Einspruch Lecture Series: On the Periphery of the Holocaust: Killings and Pillage of Jews by Their Neighbors and Reception of Neighbors and Current Writing on the Holocaust in Poland. Professor Gross's research and teaching on modern Europe is focused on comparative politics, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, Soviet and East European politics, and the Holocaust. Born in Warsaw, Professor Gross is a graduate of Warsaw University and Yale University. His often fiercely controversial published works on the Holocaust in Poland include Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland; Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland after Auschwitz; and, most recently, Golden Harvest: Events at the Periphery of the Holocaust, described by The New Yorker as a "lucid and chilling book."
