 According to a more critical view expressed by Joanna Michlic, Strzembosz belonged to a Polish "ethno-nationalist" school of thought that also includes Marek Jan Chodakiewicz and Bogdan Musiał.In "Shared History, Divided Memory", Michlic writes that this school treats "Żydokomuna" (Judeo-Communism) not as an antisemitic canard but as a historically rooted reality.Also in "Shared History, Divided Memory", Kai Struve, assessing Strzembosz's historiography, writes that, while Strzembosz had difficulty accepting Jan T. Gross' account of the Jedwabne massacre and used some antisemitically-tinged sources in describing alleged widespread Jewish collaboration with the Soviets, he did valuable pioneering research into Poles' resistance against the ruthless Soviet occupation of their country in 1939-41.
