Abstract
What can we learn from the documents in the trial of Gustav Trapp, 101 Reserve Police Battalion, which took place in Siedlce in 1948? Trapp was described in a book by an American historian Christopher Browning, who analyzed the mechanisms of exceptional crimes committed against the Jews by „ordinary men” of the battalion in the Lublin region during 1942–1944, on the basis of their testimonies before the German justice system in the 1960s. While Browning writes almost exclusively about the murder of the Jews, the Siedlce trial accentuates the murder of the Polish rural population. What are the reasons for such parallel historical approaches?
