This invaluable work traces the role of the Einsatzgruppen of the
Security Police and SD, the core group of Himmler's murder units
involved in the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question," during and
immediately after the German campaign in Poland in 1939. In
addition to relevant Einsatzgruppen reports, the book includes key
documents from other sources, especially eyewitness accounts from
victims or onlookers. Such accounts provide an alternative, often
much more realistic, perspective on the nature and consequences of
the actions previously known only through documentation generated
by the perpetrators. With carefully selected primary sources
contextualized by the authors' clear narrative, this work fills an
important gap in our understanding of a crucial period in the
evolution of policies directed against Jews, Poles, and others
deemed dangerous or inferior by the Third Reich. Supplemented by
maps and photographs, this book will be an essential reference and
research tool.
