\n EURUS Statement of Support for Professor Jan Grabowski\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies expresses its support for Professor Jan Grabowski<\/a> (History, University of Ottawa).  Professor Grabowski is a leading scholar of the Holocaust and has produced multiple works of great scholarly value.  We are deeply concerned by the recent Polish court verdict based on legislation that threatens to curtail academic freedom in Poland surrounding issues of the Holocaust, particularly as it concerns all Poles and Polish Jewry.  Professor Grabowski and his colleague, Barbara Engelking, have produced a volume that reveals important information on local subjects during the Holocaust and has received global accolades.  We believe that this work, and all academic works on the subject, should be subject to scholarly scrutiny respecting the academic freedom of all actors, without political interference or fear of intimidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instytut Studi\u00f3w Europejskich, Rosyjskich i Eurazjatyckich Uniwersytetu ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´, Ottawa (EURUS) wyra\u017ca poparcie dla prof. Jana Grabowskiego (Wydzial Historii, Uniwersytetu Ottawa). Profesor Grabowski jest jednym z czo\u0142owych  badaczy Holokaustu i  autorem wielu prac o du\u017cej warto\u015bci badawczej. Jeste\u015bmy g\u0142\u0119boko zaniepokojeni niedawnym wyrokiem polskiego s\u0105du opartym na przepisach, kt\u00f3re gro\u017c\u0105 ograniczeniem wolno\u015bci akademickiej w Polsce w zakresie zagadnie\u0144 Holokaustu, szczeg\u00f3lnie w odniesieniu do wszystkich Polak\u00f3w i polskich \u017byd\u00f3w. Profesor Grabowski i jego kole\u017canka, profesor   Barbara Engelking wydali ksiazke, kt\u00f3ra zawiera wa\u017cne informacje na temat lokalnych uwarukowan Holokaustu , ktora juz zdoby\u0142a uznanie na ca\u0142ym \u015bwiecie. Uwa\u017camy, \u017ce ta praca jak i wszystkie prace naukowe na ten temat powinny podlega\u0107 naukowej analizie w granicach wolno\u015bci akademickiej dla wszystkich jej autorow, bez ingerencji politycznej czy obawy przed zastraszaniem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
