| Description |
A comprehensive survey of how the Germans murdered most of the Jews in the occupied territories of the USSR between 1941-44. Describes the organization and advance of the Einsatzgruppen, and the cooperation of the Waffen-SS, the German military administration, German police battalions, and police units composed of local volunteers. Delineates three phases in the killing operations: 22 June 1941 to winter 1941-42, when most of the Jews in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, eastern Belorussia, eastern Ukraine, Moldavia, and the occupied areas of the RSFSR were killed spring 1942 to the end of 1942, when most of the Jews in the western Ukraine and Belorussia, and the southern areas of the RSFSR, were killed the beginning of 1943 to summer 1944, when the Jews who had survived until then were killed. States that throughout the occupied areas large numbers of local residents voluntarily collaborated with the Germans. Gives details on where, when, and how the murders were executed in various towns. Out of a total of 2,750,000-2,900,000 Jews who came under German rule in the USSR, very few survived, mostly in the western regions.
