| Summary: | Polish mayors played a key role in the administration of the General Government and, by extension, were an important part of the German, Jewish, and Polish history of the Holocaust and Second World War. These officials oversaw the country’s administrative departments. Without their collaboration, invading German forces would not have been able to occupy the General Government for five years and persecute and murder more than two million Jews.Through three examples, namely Julian Kulski in Warsaw, Stanisław Rybicki in Częstochowa, and Jan Gadomski in Otwock, this article describes Polish mayors’ actions and underscores how they used their administrations to implement Germany’s anti-Semitic policies. |
