| Summary: | General surveys and other works cover particular aspects of the Holocaust's perpetration and memory in Ukraine. But as Ray Brandon and Wendy Lower note in the editors' introduction to the book under review, research and publication exclusively on the Holocaust in Ukraine remain woefully undeveloped. This is surprising for three interrelated reasons: First, the Ukraine in its boundaries as a Soviet republic in the fall of 1939 had one of the largest Jewish populations in all territories occupied by the Germans. Second, the Germans here generally acted even more brutally than in other areas, and killed approximately 1.4 million Jews, most of them by shooting. |
