Name:	Collaboration in the Holocaust: Crimes of the Local Police in Belorussia and Ukraine, 1941-1944
Product Code:	1403963711
Description:	By Martin Dean
Product Detail:	According to German bookkeeping, more than a million Jews were shot by Himmler's police forces and their local collaborators in the East. Martin Dean's book examines the participation of local Belorussian and Ukrainian police in this crime. Police assisted the Germans in the murder of their neighbors within earshot of their own homes. The numbers of indigenous police personnel involved in the atrocities outnumbered their Nazi German colleagues. Many of those willing to be executioners were in fact local volunteers from within these small rural communities. Their motives included greed, ambition, and anti-communism as well as hatred of the Jews. Some collaborators displayed especial zeal in searching out victims hiding in the ghettoes and forests. Practical realities as much as ideological convictions determined the implication of Nazi genocide in the vast expanses of the East. This book is published in association with the United States Holocaust memorial Museum.
