The book reconstructs how the Jews of Jedwabne were murdered by their Polish neighbours in July 1941, many of them burned alive in a barn. It goes beyond one town: it confronts the Polish memory of the Holocaust and its refusal to admit any Polish share in the crime. In a later preface the author adds that the killings a few days earlier in Wąsosz and Radziłów, partly by the same people, belong to the same story.
