In the Midst of Civilized Europe

The Pogroms of 1918–1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Two decades before the Holocaust over 100,000 Jews were murdered in Ukraine. Blaming them for the upheaval of the Russian Revolution, peasants, townsmen and soldiers alike assaulted their neighbours, destroyed Torah scrolls and burned houses down. Drawing on contemporary archives and eyewitness statements, Jeffrey Veidlinger meticulously documents the era and how the official acceptance of the violence foreshadowed later events. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on upper or lower trimmed edge.
