Barbara Engelking (born 22 April 1962) is a Polish psychologist and sociologist specializing in Holocaust studies.
[4][5] From November 2015 until April 2016, she was the Ina Levine Invitational Scholar at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Mandel Center in Washington, D.C.[1] Engelking's book The Warsaw Ghetto: A Guide to the Perished City (2009), written with Jacek Leociak, provides detailed maps of the ghetto so that readers can locate the streets and former community structures.
[7] In 2013 historian Samuel Kassow described Engelking's work and that of three other scholars (Jan Grabowski, Alina Skibińska, and Dariusz Libionka) as a "historical achievement of the first order", undermining "the self-serving myths about Polish-Jewish relations in World War II".
[8] In 2018 Engelking and Grabowski co-edited Dalej jest noc: losy Żydów w wybranych powiatach okupowanej Polski (Night without End: The Fate of Jews in German-Occupied Poland), a two-volume, 1,600-page study of nine counties in German-occupied Poland during the Holocaust.
[9] In February 2021, a Warsaw court ruled that Grabowski and Engelking must apologize for their claims about Edward Malinowski (the sołtys of the Polish village of Malinowo) in Dalej jest noc;[10] in August, the ruling was overturned by an appeals court.
