Krátky popis
A riveting account of a forgotten holocaust: the slaughter of over
one hundred thousand Ukrainian Jews in the aftermath of the Russian
Revolution. In the Midst of Civilized Europe repositions the
pogroms as a defining moment of the twentieth century. 'Exhaustive,
clearly written, deeply researched' - The Times'A meticulous,
original and deeply affecting historical account' - Philippe Sands,
author of East West StreetBetween 1918 and 1921, over a hundred
thousand Jews were murdered in Ukraine by peasants, townsmen, and
soldiers who blamed the Jews for the turmoil of the Russian
Revolution.In hundreds of separate incidents, ordinary people
robbed their Jewish neighbours with impunity, burned down their
houses, ripped apart their Torah scrolls, sexually assaulted them,
and killed them. Largely forgotten today, these pogroms - ethnic
riots - dominated headlines and international affairs in their
time. Aid workers warned that six million Jews were in danger of
complete extermination.Twenty years later, these dire predictions
would come true. Drawing upon long-neglected archival materials,
including thousands of newly discovered witness testimonies, trial
records, and official orders, acclaimed historian Jeffrey
Veidlinger shows for the first time how this wave of genocidal
violence created the conditions for the Holocaust. Through stories
of survivors, perpetrators, aid workers, and governmental
officials, he explains how so many different groups of people came
to the same conclusion: that killing Jews was an acceptable
response to their various problems.
