Polish film-maker [[Agnieszka Arnold]] made two documentary films interviewing witnesses of the massacre. ''Gdzie mój starszy syn Kain'' ("Where is my elder son Cain", 1999), includes interviews with Szmul Wasersztajn and the daughter of the owner of the barn where the massacre took place. The second, ''Sąsiedzi'' ("Neighbors", 2001), deals with the subject in greater depth. Gross's book of the same name was written with Arnold's permission to use the title.<ref name=Omelsky5March2018>{{cite news |last1=Omolesky |first1=Matthew |title=Sensu Stricto, Sensu Largo: The Battle Over Poland's 'Holocaust Law' |url=https://spectator.org/sensu-stricto-sensu-largo-the-battle-over-polands-holocaust-law-2/ |work=The American Spectator |date=5 March 2018}}</ref> Gross appears in Haim Hecht's documentary ''Two Barns'' (2014), along other prominent Holocaust historians ([[Yehuda Bauer]], [[Jan Grabowski (historian)|Jan Grabowski]], and [[Havi Dreifuss]]), as well as [[Wislawa Szymborska]] and [[Shevah Weiss]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vimeo.com/104504131|title=Two Barns—English version|first=Roy|last=Mandel|date=27 August 2014|via=Vimeo}}</ref>{{primary-inline|date=March 2021}}

===''The Massacre in Jedwabne, 10 July 1941'' (2005)===
[[Marek Jan Chodakiewicz]]'s book ''The Massacre in Jedwabne, 10 July 1941: Before, During, and After'' challenges Gross's interpretation of events.{{sfn|Holc|2008}} It suggests that four or five truckloads of armed [[Schutzstaffel|SS]] men from [[Łomża]] terrorized the local population before leading Jews and Poles to the crime scene.{{sfn|Chodakiewicz|2005|p={{page needed|date=April 2020}}}} Chodakiewicz argues that all the primary sources are wrong or worthless, including the testimony of Szmul Wasersztajn, the investigation of the 22 suspects for the 1949 trial, and the partial exhumation of the bodies. "And yet," [[Piotr Wróbel]] wrote in ''The Sarmatian Review'', "Chodakiewicz is able to present his recreation of the crime. It was well preplanned, initiated by the Germans, and utterly lacked any pogrom-like spontaneity." Chodakiewicz's good arguments, Wróbel wrote, are "overshadowed by numerous flaws", lack a sense of proportion, and make selective use of information from sources that support Chodakiewicz's view. According to Wróbel, the book has a "visible political agenda" and is "difficult to read, unoriginal, irritating, and unconvincing".{{sfn|Wróbel|2006b}}

Reviewing the book for ''[[History (journal)|History]]'', [[Peter D. Stachura]] agreed with Chodakiewicz that the pogrom had been executed by German police, "with only limited involvement from a very small number of Poles", including "''Volksdeutsche'' (Polish citizens of German origin) and petty criminals".{{sfn|Stachura|2007}} In response, [[Joanna Michlic]] and [[Antony Polonsky]] complained about the review to the editor of ''History''. Chodakiewicz's and Stachura's conclusions were "very far from those reached by most historians", they wrote, including the IPN. Chodakiewicz and Stachura "uphold a view of the Polish past which seeks to return to an untenable vision of modern Poland as solely victim and hero&nbsp;... It is a matter of considerable regret to us that you have allowed your journal to be used to advance this neo-nationalist agenda."{{sfn|Michlic|Polonsky|2008}}
