Name:	Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine
Product Code:	9780691131214
Description:	By Omer Bartov
Product Detail:	In Erased, Omer Bartov uncovers the rapidly disappearing vestiges of the Jews of Western Ukraine, who were rounded up and murdered by the Nazis during World War II with help from the local populace. What begins as a personal chronicle of the Holocaust in his mother’s hometown of Buchach carries him on a journey across the region and back through history. This travelogue reveals the complete erasure of the Jews and their removal from public memory, a blatant act of forgetting done in the service of a fiercely aggressive Ukrainian Nationalism. Bartov, a leading Holocaust scholar, discovers that to make sense of the heartbreaking events of the war, he must first grapple with the complex interethnic relationships and conflicts that have existed there for centuries. Visiting twenty Ukrainian towns, he recreates the histories of the vibrant Jewish and Polish communities who once lived there-and describes what is left today following their brutal and complete destruction.
