What difference does it make whether they did it out of greed. The slaughter of the Trynczer family.
The Polish Center for Holocaust Research will soon organize two meetings that will focus on the recent publication called ‘Jakie to ma znaczenie, czy zrobili to z chciwości? Zagłada domu Trynczerów’ ?(Eng. What difference does it make whether they did it out of greed. The slaughter of the Trynczer family) by Alina Skibinska and Tadeusz Markiel.
On January 12th, at 5.30 pm, at the Krakow JCC, Katarzyna Zimmerer will moderate a meeting with one of the two authors of the book. It will be followed by a debate in which Alina Skibinska, Elzbieta Janicka and Michal Bilewicz will participate. This meeting, which will be moderated by Adam Ostolski, will be held at Nowy Wspanialy Swiat in Warsaw at 7 pm.
‘Jakie to ma znaczenie, czy zrobili to z chciwości. Zagłada domu Trynczerów’ comprises an extended version of Tadeusz Markie’s account as well as historical studies of these events written by Alina Skibinska, a member of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and a Polish representative of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The historical analysis proves that the account of the first hand witness is reliable with regard to almost every single detail,. Additional historical sources unearth significant evidence that helps one to comprehend what really happened in the Polish countryside during World War II.
The Gniewczyn tragedy was not the only episode at that time but it differs from other similar events in that they were forever etched in the memory of Tadeusz Markiel, the first-hand witness, who described these events in detail. At that time, Tadeusz Markiel was a thirteen-year-old boy who witnessed the dramatic events which took place in the village. Polish residents and Ukrainian military police also had their share in those dramatic events. After some years, he described everything that he had seen and experienced in his extremely detailed and moving account published by the ‘Znak’ monthly.
