近几十年来，人们对二战后不久的时期(大约1944至1948年)的兴趣激增。被称为“早期大屠杀”的记忆、文献和历史学引起了特别的关注。在这种背景下谈论大屠杀研究可能看起来有点不合时宜。但毫无疑问，这些活动，其中许多是由犹太幸存者历史学家进行的，与最近在意第绪语中被称为khurbn的犹太灾难有共同的担忧，构成了一个非常真实的、巨大的、跨国的现象--一个值得关注的现象。萨克森科学院在其系列《犹太历史和文化档案》中出版了最新的原始材料集之一，重点关注战后早期波兰的所谓khurbn-Forshung(字面意思，灾难研究)。在这本书中，系列编辑与该领域最知名的专家之一Laura Jockusch合作，并选择专注于波兰中央犹太历史委员会(CZKH)。CZKH只是当时欧洲创建的这种类型的研究机构之一。但毫无疑问，这是一个重要的问题。不仅90%的波兰犹太人被谋杀，最臭名昭著的国家社会主义阵营和犹太人区位于波兰领土上，而且CZKH还聚集了一群专业历史学家，他们深刻反思了他们的方法以及他们在进行此类研究中所扮演的角色。CZKH于1944年在卢布林成立，雇佣了70到100名员工，其中一半以上是女性，是现在华沙犹太历史研究所(ZIH)的前身。
Recent decades have seen a surge of interest in the immediate post-World War II period (circa 1944 to 1948). What has come to be known as “early Holocaust” memory, documentation, and historiography has attracted particular attention. Speaking of Holocaust research in this context might seem somewhat anachronistic. But without question, such activities, many of them carried out by Jewish survivor historians and sharing a concern with the recent Jewish catastrophe known in Yiddish as khurbn, constituted a very real, large, and transnational phenomenon—and a phenomenon that is worthy of attention.Taking stock of this, one of the latest collections of source material published by the Saxonian Academy of Sciences in their series “Archive of Jewish History and Culture”, focuses on so-called Khurbn-Forshung (literally, catastrophe-research) in early postwar Poland. In this volume, the series editors cooperated with one of the field’s best-known experts, Laura Jockusch, and chose to concentrate on the Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland (CZKH). The CZKH was just one of the research institutions of this type created in Europe at this time. But it was unquestionably an important one. Not only were 90 percent of Polish Jews murdered and the most infamous National Socialist camps and ghettos located on Polish territory, but the CZKH also brought together a group of professional historians who reflected deeply on their methods as well as their role in doing such research. Founded in Lublin in 1944, the CZKH came to employ between 70 and 100 people, more than half of them women, and was the precursor of what is now the Jewish Historical Institute (ZIH) in Warsaw.
