Lukas (born 1937) is an American historian and author of books and articles on military, diplomatic, Polish, and Polish-American history. He specializes in the history of Poland during World War II. Lukas is best known for The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles Under German Occupation, 1939-1944, a study of the wartime experiences of the Poles. CareerLukas served as a Research Consultant at the United States Air Force Historical Archives prior to receiving his Ph.D. in history from Florida State University in 1963. He taught at universities in Florida, Ohio and Tennessee. He has also been a guest lecturer at academic institutions in the United States and Poland, and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters by Alliance College in 1987 in recognition of his scholarship. He has received awards for his work.[1][2] Lukas was a contributor to the Air Force Lineage Project that resulted in the publication of Air Force Combat Units of World War II. His specialty included the combat operations of the 8th, 12th and 15th air forces. He later wrote a military-diplomatic study, Eagles East. Lukas wrote scholarly books on Allied wartime and postwar relations. His book, The Strange Allies: Poland and the United States, 1941-1945 studied in-depth the relationship between the United States and the Polish government-in-exile and highlighted the impact of American Polonia in United States-Polish relations. The sequel to The Strange Allies was Bitter Legacy: Polish-American Relations in the Wake of World War II, which dealt with postwar Polish history and Polish-American relations, as well as the aid that was extended to Poland after World War II.[1] The Forgotten HolocaustNorman Davies, UNESCO Professor of History at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, wrote in the foreword of the third American edition of The Forgotten Holocaust in 2012, that over the years Lukas's pioneering work "has proved its worth." Davies recognized that "by expanding the grounds for discussion and by pointing to aspects of the period that were indeed in danger of being forgotten, (Lukas's book) rendered a very real service."[4]According to David Engel, while the book purports to counter bias it is a one-sided rebuke of "Jewish historians". Engel enumerates examples of alleged inaccuracies, distortion, and misrepresentations in the book and views it as "not only unreliable but thoroughly tendentious".[3] Did the Children Cry?Lukas's Did the Children Cry? received the Janusz Korczak Literary Award, however this was accompanied with a two page analysis by the prize sponsor, the Anti-Defamation League, describing why the book was "problematic in several ways". The biennial prize, awarded to books on children, was recommended by a panel of judges. The ADL attempted to withdraw the prize ten days prior to the award ceremony, however after Lukas threatened he would file a lawsuit the ADL decided to reinstate it. According to the ADL the book "strongly understated the level of anti-Semitism in Poland. It also strongly overstated the number of people who rescued Jews". The ADL cancelled the award ceremony, and mailed the $1000 US prize money to Lukas.[4] Other workLukas' continuing interest in the Polish tragedy during World War II resulted in several additional books such as Forgotten Survivors. Lukas has also published fiction.[5]{{Better source|reason=Interview with subject - everything needs to be attributed to Lukas himself|date=December 2018}} BibliographyBooks
