註釋Presents documents describing the activities of the first American ambassador in independent Poland, Hugh Gibson, in the period of the Paris Peace Conference, and documents on the Minorities Treaty, against the background of tension between the Polish and Jewish communities in the U.S. related to the situation of the Jews in Poland. Jewish American circles (led by Louis Marshall) considered Gibson an antisemite who distorted the facts in favor of the Poles. Deals also with Morgenthau's mission; he was sent to Poland by the American government to investigate the situation of the Jews. Analyzing documents and Gibson's diary, concludes that although he lacked understanding of the extent of antisemitism in Poland and of its possible consequences, it is difficult to accept the thesis of his antisemitism.
