Waitman Wade Beorn's The Holocaust in Eastern Europe provides a
comprehensive history of the Holocaust in the region that was the
central location of the event itself while including material often
overlooked in general Holocaust history texts. First introducing
Jewish life as it was lived before the Nazis in Eastern Europe, the
book chronologically surveys the development of Nazi policies in
the area over the period from 1939 to 1945. This book provides an
overview of both the German imagination and obsession with the East
and its impact on the Nazi genocidal project there. It also covers
the important period of Soviet occupation and its effects on the
unfolding of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. This text also treats
in detail other themes such as ghettoization, the Final Solution,
rescue, collaboration, resistance, and many others. Throughout,
Beorn includes detailed examples of the similarities and
differences of the nature of the Holocaust in various regions, in
the words of perpetrators, witnesses, collaborators, and
victims/survivors. Beorn also illustrates the complex nature of the
Holocaust by discussing the difficult subjects of collaboration,
sexual violence, the use of slave labour, treatment of Soviet POWs,
profiteering and others within a larger narrative framework. He
also explores key topics like Jewish resistance, Jewish councils,
memory, and explanations for perpetration, collaboration, and
rescue. The book includes images and maps to orient the reader to
the topic area. This important book explains the brutality and
complexity of the Holocaust in the East for all students of the
Holocaust and 20th-century Eastern European history.
