3 Winter 2026 Yet at the same time, one cannot ignore the many Poles who collaborated with the Nazis, those who handed Jews over to them, and the pogroms carried out by Poles against Jews during World War II and in its immediate aftermath. Numerous articles have been published following the U.S. Ambassador’s speech, and I refer here to just a few of them.* It is essential that unbiased historical research be conducted on all that occurred in Poland during World War II. In this context, the IJL filed a petition with the Constitutional Court of Poland regarding the 2018 so‑called Holocaust Bill, which sought to restrict historical inquiry into events that took place in occupied Poland during the War. In addition, the IJL supported Polish Holocaust scholars who faced defamation lawsuits for their research on the actions of certain Poles during that period (see the Engelking and Grabowski case). * Menachem Z.

This issue was closed and the President's Message was prepared on International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2026. The delays in publication are due to the vicissitudes and exigencies of Operation Lion's Roar. We appreciate the authors' patience and understanding, and value their academic contributions which will continue to enlighten and inspire.
