Chapter Two: The Unwelcoming of Jewish Survivors

Gross describes a situation in which the homes, property and businesses owmed by Poland's Jews had been taken over by their neighbors with the result that Jews returning to their former homes in the hope of finding their relatives and rebuilding their lives were warned that they would be wise to leave and, in many cases, murdered. Property belonging to the Jewish community, insluding not only synagogues, but office buildings and schools, became the property of local governments which could continue in posession only if no Jewish community was reestablished.
