Description

Summary

A collection of documents from Soviet archives, most of them not published previously, on atrocities committed by the SS Einsatzgruppen, with the cooperation, and often the participation, of units of the Wehrmacht against partisans, civilians, prisoners of war, and Jews in Eastern Europe, mainly in the Soviet Union. Includes official German documents, German, Soviet, and Jewish eyewitness accounts, and photographs of executions found on German soldiers captured by the Russians. A Russian eyewitness and a Jewish survivor describe in detail the roundup of Jews in Kiev and their massacre at Babi Yar. Other survivors describe the opening of mass graves in Babi Yar and in Lvov, and the disposal of the corpses in ovens and "bone mills" in order to destroy the evidence. An appendix gives brief biographical notes on the Nazi officers who wrote the documents or are mentioned in them.
