  1. Anon., ibid. 143-8. The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the few accounts published in
    English, but there is much emigre material in Polish: See Polacy w ZSSR 1939-42:
    Antologia, ed. M. Czapska (Paris, 1963). A rare discussion of the problem in post-war
    Poland is in Krystyna Kersten, Kepatriacja ludnosci polskiej po 11 wojnie swiatowej
    (Warsaw, 1974), subsequently withdrawn by the Censorship. Estimates of the numbers
    of Poles involved vary from a minimum of 800,000 to a maximum of over 2 million. See
    also R. Conquest, Kolyma (London, 1978), and Edward Buca, Vorkuta (London, 1976).
    Solzhenitzyn, whose sources of information were personal and fragmentary, writes little
    about the Poles; but his description of the deportation of the 'special settlers' from
    Estonia in 1940 matches the Polish case; see The Gulag Archipelago (London, 1978), iii.
    Part VI, Chapter 4, 'The Nations in Exile'.

  3. Jan T. Gross, Neighbors: the destruction of the Jewish community in Jedwabne
    (Princeton, 2001). The fierce debate is best followed on the Internet, where two sites in
    particular are worth examining: 'we refuse to accept the propaganda of hatred and lies'
    at http://www.geocities.com/jedwabne.english, and 'voices on the Jedwabne Tragedy' at
    http://www.pogranicze.sejny.pl/english/jedwabne.
