| Summary: | The German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, unleashed the most horrific war of terror and genocide in modern history. Between 25 and 27 million Soviet citizens died, two thirds of them civilians. But the Germans reserved their particular fury for the Soviet Union's five million Jews. Of this number, almost two million had ended up in Soviet territory as part of the German-Soviet division of parts of Eastern Europe in 1939 and 1940. One to 1.5 million Soviet Jews would be murdered by the Germans and their allies during the war, while another 200,000 died fighting in the Red Army. |
