Piotr H. Kosicki will offer a "transwar" perspective on Catholic anti-Semitism in Poland, placing it in the context of Polish debates about race, religion, and nationhood spanning from the 1930s into the Communist period -- some homegrown, others in conversation with the Third Reich. This presentation grows out of research that is forthcoming with Yale UP in September 2017 as a monograph entitled Catholics on the Barricades: Poland, France, and "Revolution," 1939-1956.
