The first book devoted exclusively to the Holocaust in the North
Caucasus, exploring mass killings, Jewish responses, collaboration,
and memory in a region barely known in this context When war
between the Soviet Union and Germany broke out in 1941, thousands
of refugees - many of whom were Jews - poured from war-stricken
Ukraine, Crimea, and other parts of Russia into the North Caucasus.
Hoping to find safety, they came to a region the Soviets had
struggled to pacify over the preceding 20 years of their rule. The
Jewish refugees were in especially unfamiliar territory, as the
North Caucasus had been mostly off-limits to Jews before the
Soviets arrived, and most local Jewish communities were thus small.
The region was not known as a hotbed of traditional antisemitism.
Nevertheless, after occupying the North Caucasus in the summer and
autumn of 1942, the Germans exterminated all the Jews they found -
at least 30,000 - aided by local collaborators. While scholars have
focused on local collaboration during the German occupation and on
the subsequent Soviet deportations of entire North Caucasian ethnic
groups, the region has largely escaped the attention of Holocaust
researchers. This volume, the first book-length study devoted
exclusively to the Holocaust in the North Caucasus, addresses that
gap. Contributors present richly documented essays on such topics
as German killing operations, decision-making by Jewish refugees,
local collaboration, rescue, and memory, taking care to integrate
their findings into the broader contexts of Holocaust, North
Caucasian, Russian, and Soviet history.
