It is in his astonishing little book (173 pages of text) just published by Princeton University Press. The title, “Neighbors,” is an ice dagger to the heart, but only after the book has been read. The word “neighbor” connotes moral sympathy (“neighborly”) as well as physical proximity. But not on July 10, 1941, in Jedwabne.
