| Summary: | Father Patrick Desbois, director of the French Conference of Bishops' Episcopal Committee for Relations with Judaism and advisor to the Vatican on the Jewish religion, has written a lucid account of a part of the Holocaust that started before the full fury of the extermination camps was reached. Desbois has traced the gradual annihilation of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Jews, an undertaking that began long before the Wannsee Conference. These early victims were not loaded onto trains and taken to already existing death camps far away. They were rounded up and taken by foot, cart, or truck to the outskirts of their towns and massacred by bullets in the presence of neighbors. |
