Under den nazistiska ockupationen av Ukraina mördades över en miljon judar i fullt dagsljus. Men förövarna var noggranna med att inte efterlämna några bevis.

Wendy Lower snubblar över ett unikt fotografi som dokumenterar avrättningen av en mamma, hennes barn och männen som mördade dem. Fotot lämnar henne inte någon ro. Hon ägnar tio år åt att ta reda på vem som tagit bilden, vilka bödlarna var och vad som hände i Ukraina. Dådet placeras in i ett större sammanhang: det skräckinjagande folkmordet. Hennes efterforskningar i Ukraina, Slovakien, Tyskland och USA avslöjar den överraskande roll som fotografen spelade. Han måste, antog hon, ha varit medlem i en nazistorganisation. Sanningen var en annan.

WENDY LOWER har tidigare utkommit med den hyllade boken Hitlers furier, som översatts till tjugotre språk. Hon är professor i historia vid Claremont McKenna College i Kalifornien i USA och rådgivare till U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.

"Det är ett gediget arbete som ligger bakom den här boken. Lower lyckas på ett ofta gripande och effektivt sätt att växla perspektiv. Vi kastas mellan det nära, ångestfyllda mördandet i Myropil och det övergripande, ofattbara med hela Förintelsen."

Göteborgs-Posten

"En stark redogörelse av en historikers strävan att ge namn åt dessa judiska offer som mördades 1941 [...] Den här boken är en återupprättelse." The Times

"Lower vänder verkligen på alla stenar när hon berättar om sitt sökande i denna fascinerande bok." Jewish News

"En fängslande och utomordentlig framställning [...] detektivarbete av bästa och mest gripande märke." Philippe Sands

"Hennes bok vittnar om kraften i att motverka okunskap med utbildning och vikten av att återupprätta värdigheten hos dem som förintats genom folkmord. En intelligent och starkt medkännande historisk kartläggning." Kirkus Reviews

"[Lower] strävar efter att i detalj återskapa den här dagen i Myropil och avslöjar på så sätt det komplexa nätverk som möjliggjorde Förintelsen. Här lyckas hon verkligen väl." New York Times

A shocking and timely reminder of the role Nazi women played in the Holocaust, not only as plunderers and direct witnesses, but on the Eastern Front.History has it that the role of women in Nazi Germany was to be the perfect Hausfrau and a loyal cheerleader for the Führer. However, Lower’s research reveals an altogether more sinister truth. Lower shows us the ordinary women who became perpetrators of genocide. Drawing on decades of research, she uncovers a truth that has been in the shadows – that women too were brutal killers and that, in ignoring women’s culpability, we have ignored the reality of the Holocaust.‘Shocking’ Sunday Times‘Compelling’ Washington Post‘Pioneering’ Literary Review

On the eve of the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1941, Ukraine was home to the largest Jewish community in Europe. Between 1941 and 1944, some 1.4 million Jews were killed there, and one of the most important centers of Jewish life was destroyed. Yet, little is known about this chapter of Holocaust history. Drawing on archival sources from the former Soviet Union and bringing together researchers from Ukraine, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and the United States, The Shoah in Ukraine sheds light on the critical themes of perpetration, collaboration, Jewish-Ukrainian relations, testimony, rescue, and Holocaust remembrance in Ukraine.Contributors are Andrej Angrick, Omer Bartov, Karel C. Berkhoff, Ray Brandon, Martin Dean, Dennis Deletant, Frank Golczewski, Alexander Kruglov, Wendy Lower, Dieter Pohl, and Timothy Snyder.

On 16 July 1941, Adolf Hitler convened top Nazi leaders at his headquarters in East Prussia to dictate how they would rule the newly occupied eastern territories. Ukraine, the ""jewel"" in the Nazi empire, would become a German colony administered by Heinrich Himmler's SS and police, Hermann Goring's economic plunderers, and a host of other satraps. Focusing on the Zhytomyr region and weaving together official German war-time records, diaries, memoirs, and personal interviews, Wendy Lower provides the most complete assessment available of German colonization and the Holocaust in Ukraine. She shifts scholarly attention from Germany itself to the eastern outposts of the Reich, where the regime truly revealed its core beliefs, aims, and practices.

Volume III examines the most well-known century of genocide, the twentieth century. Opening with a discussion on the definitions of genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' and their relationships to modernity, it continues with a survey of the genocide studies field, racism and antisemitism. The four parts cover the impacts of Racism, Total War, Imperial Collapse, and Revolution; the crises of World War Two; the Cold War; and Globalization. Twenty-eight scholars with expertise in specific regions document thirty genocides from 1918 to 2021, in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The cases range from the Armenian Genocide to Maoist China, from the Holocaust to Stalin's Ukraine, from Indonesia to Guatemala, Biafra, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda, and finally the contemporary fate of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and the ISIS slaughter of Yazidis in Iraq. The volume ends with a chapter on the strategies for genocide prevention moving forward.

A strikingly original book about a terrible photograph – an exceptionally rare image documenting the horrific final moment of the murder of a family in Ukraine. A Times Book of the Year'A very rare kind of picture... To the murdered others, this book is an act of restitution' David Aaronovitch, The Times'Detective work of the highest and most gripping order' Philippe Sands'Lower's pursuit of the truth is both captivating and meticuous' TLS'Extraordinary and spell-binding' Daily Mail'One photograph. That's what it took to start Wendy Lower on an incredible journey of discovery' Deborah LipstadtThe terrible mass shootings in Poland and the Ukraine are often neglected in studies of the Holocaust, because the perpetrators were meticulously careful to avoid leaving any evidence of their actions. Wendy Lower stumbled across one such piece of evidence – a photograph documenting the shooting of a mother and her children and the men who killed them – and has crafted a forensically brilliant and moving study that brings the larger horror of the genocide into focus.Shortlisted for the Historical Writers' Association Non-Fiction Crown.
