DESCRIPTION:Join us in Oxford for a thought-provoking evening exploring Conversations
with an Executioner, the remarkable account of Kazimierz Moczarski, a
Polish resistance fighter who was imprisoned by the new communist
government alongside Jürgen Stroop, the Nazi officer responsible for
crushing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Through conversations recorded from memory after his imprisonment,
Moczarski offered an extraordinary insight into the mind of a Nazi
perpetrator, raising questions about history, responsibility, morality and
the nature of evil.
We are delighted to welcome Elżbieta Moczarska, the author’s daughter
and custodian of his literary legacy, and Sean Gasper Bye, translator of
the acclaimed English edition, in conversation Zoe Waxman, Professor of
Holocaust Studies at the University of Oxford.
Together, they will explore the story behind the book, its historical
significance and why its message remains so relevant today.
Whether you are interested in history, literature, translation, Polish
heritage or the ways we remember the past, notably the Holocaust, this
promises to be a fascinating and meaningful discussion.

Organised by:
The Oxford-Poland Hub & Oxford Polish Association
With the support of the Polish Cultural Institute in London
