Marek Jan Chodakiewicz Biography

Marek Jan Chodakiewicz is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on July 15, 1962 in Warsaw, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. Klaus-Peter Friedrich reviews After the Holocaust. Polish-Jewish Conflict after World War II. He criticizes Chodakiewicz for being “selective, impressionistic” and “marred with many contradictions”. Friedrich points out that Chodakiewicz refers to fully assimilated Jews in a manner similar to the one used by radical right-wing media. He concludes that Chodakiewicz wrote the book with a political goal of commemoration. Friedrich also reviewed Chodakiewicz’s Between Nazis, Soviets: Occupation Politics In Poland, 1939-1947. This is a study on the Nazi and Soviet occupations in Janow Lubelski County, southeast Poland. Chodakiewicz is a significant contributor to what is known about rural Poland, as previous studies were focused on large cities. Friedrich, however, criticizes Chodakiewicz for omitting prior research, particularly recent literature on collaboration.

Joanna Michlic describes Chodakiewicz in the following way: “The main representatives of post-1989 historiography, characterized by prejudice views towards Jews or other minorities… These historians are part of the school of (ethno-)nationalist history writing, in which the themes and victimhood of ethnic Poles vis–a-vis other groups play an important role in shaping their arguments. Chodakiewicz is the extreme.

In 2003, Chodakiewicz received the Józef Mackiewicz Literary Prize in Warsaw, for his two-volume book of history entitled Ejszyszki. According to Chodakiewicz his work refutes Yaffa Eliach’s allegations of a 1944 post- liberation pogrom in Eišiškės against Jews by the Polish Home Army, in which Eliach said she survived beneath the body of her mother and baby brother who were shot multiple times after being discovered hiding in a closet, and as promoted in the American media and her book. Per Chodakiewicz Jewish bystanders were killed accidentally during an “anti-Soviet assault by the underground”, and not in a pogrom. However, per Chodakiewicz “unfortunately, and quite typically, unlike the charges, the refutation received no publicity in the American media”. Chodakiewicz’s publication was reviewed positively in the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper, whose editor Adam Michnik had previously called Eliach’s account an “insult” to Poland.

In April 2005, Chodakiewicz was appointed by President George W. Bush for a 5-year term to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. Controversy erupted towards the end of his term over Chodakiewicz’s claims in several publications that Polish nationalists who murdered Jews after the Holocaust were not motivated by Antisemitism. Chodakiewicz’s appointment was criticized by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which said Chodakiewicz had published in far-right Polish publications. In addition, the British anti-racism organization, Hope not Hate, has said Chodakiewicz is a frequent commentator for right-wing Polish media.

Peter Stachura, in a highly positive review of The Massacre at Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, described the book as well-researched and meticulous. Joanna Michlic, however, wrote that the book presented “intellectually as well as morally unacceptable interpretations” and was part of an “ethnonationalist historiography trend that promotes a Polish image that is only heroic, suffering and noble. Piotr Wrobel’s review states that Chodakiewicz is trying to prove Jan T. Gross wrong. Wrobel admits Chodakiewicz’s arguments are strong, but they are “overshadowed” by many flaws and lack any sense of proportion. Wrobel claims that the book is difficult to read, repetitive, annoying, and unconvincing.

Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, a Polish-American historian, was born July 15, 1962. He specializes in Central European history from the 19th to 20th centuries. He is a professor at the Patrick Henry College as well as at the Institute of World Politics. His views on minorities and conservatism have been widely criticised.

Reviewing After the Holocaust: Polish-Jewish Conflict in the Wake of World War II (2003), Antony Polonsky wrote: “like the author’s earlier book, Żydzi i Polacy 1918-1955… this volume is intended to correct ‘anti-Polish stereotypes’ (p. 347), and it does not rise above the clichés of old-fashioned nationalist apologetics.” He criticizes Chodakiewicz for his simplistic view of the situation in post-war Poland, for ignoring the widespread antisemitism at the time and for equating Polish and Jewish “groups”, despite the latter being utterly decimated during the Holocaust. He ends his critique noting that “what is most striking about this book is the lack of empathy with those caught up in these tragic events.”

In his review of Intermarium, Dovid Katz writes that Chodakiewicz “is a forceful advocate of a Republican Party-type platform, with ample specific references to the Reagan years… [he] is socially conservative—that is to say pro-religion, anti-secularist, anti-gay, anti-left, and anti-liberal. [In his writings] there is an implicit call for the disenfranchisement of the Russian- speaking minorities in [Eastern Europe and the Baltic states]… [He] is also somewhat fixated with the purported dangers of “homosexual frolic” and “so- called ‘gay pride’ parades” (both p. 253), “‘gay liberation’” (p. 378), “radical lifestyles” (p. 421), “gender, queer and other guises” (p. 468), “sexual politics (including feminism and gay rights)” (p. 528)… Turning to Jewish issues, it is no secret that Chodakiewicz comes to the table with a controversial record that has included disguising Polish nationalism and anti- Jewish sentiment on Poland-related issues as objective historical research. Notorious episodes include his vitriolic attacks on Jan Gross’s pioneering scholarship and the omniscient search for Jews among the evil Communists.” Katz writes that Chodakiewicz “winds up praising the Ukrainian Nazi groups that actually helped perpetrate the Holocaust”. He contrasts Chodakiewicz’s work with that of Western scholars like Timothy Snyder (Bloodlands, 2012) and Alexander Prusin (The Lands Between: Conflict in the East European Borderlands, 1870–1992, 2010).” He refers to the book’s final chapter as a “hatchet job against Jewish partisans… [that] resorts to a number of abuses of academic structure to mask the genre of nationalist polemic.”
