Reviews
"A comprehensive description of the origins of the ghetto police, its development, its leadership, and the relations of the police with the rest of the ghetto administration, with Nazi collaborators inside the ghetto, with German and Lithuanian guards and policemen in the ghetto area, and with the ghetto population generally.... Readers will be moved to reflections on the existential situation of the authors, their state of mind, psychology, and philosophical conundrums. It will clarify other questions about the policemen as a group: their social status prior to the war, their education, their ideological outlook, and their self-understanding.... We do not have a document of this kind, or such a full account of any ghetto organization, let alone the police--despised and hated in most ghettos as collaborators. And despite the particularity of each ghetto, many phenomena covered in this book were universal to all." -Dalia Ofer, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, The writers of this riveting document . . . were determined to provide a truly balanced history of the Jewish police as it interacted with ghetto inhabitants, the Nazi occupiers, and their Lithuanian auxiliaries. . . . Highly recommended. , "Almost all ghetto memoirs, diaries, and histories describe the ghetto police in harshly negative terms, as a corrupt and brutal force whose members went to great lengths to save themselves by assisting the Germans in the destruction of their fellow Jews.... Individual policemen, both during and after the Holocaust, tried to justify their motives and behavior, but we have little in the way of sustained narrative of the police, much less one from the perspective of the police themselves. The history of the Kovno ghetto police is a unique historical document because it was written by the policemen while the ghetto was still in existence. Significant with respect to ghetto police forces in general, it illuminates the special case of Kovno. The Kovno ghetto police were by no means exempt from criticism by ghetto inmates, however, the behavior and attitude of the police aroused less of the bitterness and scorn one finds elsewhere.... No better source than this detailed history of the Kovno ghetto police can be imagined." -Solon Beinfeld, Washington University in St. Louis, "The Clandestine History of the Kovno Jewish Ghetto Police is an unsettling document. It does not lead, at least for this reviewer, to compassion fatigue but to unsettling empathy: at the end of reading this document, we will look differently at the moral ambiguity in which the Jewish ghetto police found itself." --Holocaust Studies, "Often, when reading about another episode of Holocaust horror, I instinctively pull back--Iam unable to imagine myself in a similar situation.What would I do?What could I do?ButI was in another place.They were there--this time, in Kovno: two groups on one side, two on the other, Jewish police and Jewish victims vs. Lithuanian partisans and German Gestapo. The Jews lost.There was never any doubt.No book I've read in recent timeabout the Holocaust has so moved me, evoking theutter helplessness of the Jew, the plight of the Jewish policeand the cunning cruelty of the German.Thisisagripping story, page by page, and it reminds us again that there but for the grace of God go we all.Read, remember and, if we can,cry." --Marvin Kalb, Senior Advisor to the Pulitzer Center and Edward R. Murrow Professor, Emeritus,Harvard Kennedy School, "The writers of this riveting document... were determined to provide a truly balanced history of the Jewish police as it interacted with ghetto inhabitants, the Nazi occupiers, and their Lithuanian auxiliaries.... Highly recommended." --Choice, "[A] remarkable book, The Clandestine History of the Kovno Jewish Ghetto Police, provides a graphic and unparalleled description of the conditions under which the Jews of Kaunas tried to live and survive during this tragic period." --Jewish Daily Forward

Synopsis
Kassow places this powerful work within the context of the history of the Kovno Jewish community and its experience and fate at the hands of the Nazis., As a force that had to serve two masters, both the Jewish population of the Kovno ghetto in Lithuania and its German occupiers, the Kovno Jewish ghetto police walked a fine line between helping Jews survive and meeting Nazi orders. In 1942 and 1943 some of its members secretly composed this history and buried it in tin boxes. The book offers a rare glimpse into the complex situation faced by the ghetto leadership and the Jewish policemen, caught between carrying out the demands of the Germans and mollifying the anger and frustration of their own people. It details the creation and organization of the ghetto, the violent German attacks on the population in the summer of 1941, the periodic selections of Jews to be deported and killed, the labor required of the surviving Jewish population, and the efforts of the police to provide a semblance of stability. The secret history tells a dramatic and complicated story, defending the actions of the police force on one page and berating its leadership on the next. A substantial introduction by distinguished historian Samuel D. Kassow places this powerful work within the context of the history of the Kovno Jewish community and its experience and fate at the hands of the Nazis.
