I really like Rembrandt's 'A Polish Nobleman' [1]. I've read "Polen, land, volk, cultuur" by Milo Anstadt. Unfortunately it was never translated from Dutch afaik, a shame because it's the best historical book I've ever read and I wish there was a book of this quality, balance and comprehensiveness about my native Netherlands (and that Polish people could read it as well). He's a Polish Jew who's family fled from his native then Polish Lviv/Lwow to the Netherlands and became a noted historian. Rembrandt's image fits the history as investigated and told by Anstadt perfectly.
