This is an excel­lent mono­graph­ic study of the Holo­caust as expe­ri­enced in a sin­gle region: the part of East­ern Gali­cia around the city of Lvov. Pri­or to World War II this area was Pol­ish; it is cur­rent­ly part of the Ukraine and Lvov (Lwow in Pol­ish, also known as Lem­berg in Yid­dish) has come to be known as Lviv. Nine chap­ters are divid­ed into three parts, deal­ing in turn with the Sovi­et era (1939 – 1941), The Nazi peri­od (1941 – 1943), and Ghet­tos and Slave Labor camps. An epi­logue sum­ma­rizes the end of East Gali­cian Jew­ry in the autumn of 1943. Three very use­ful appen­dix­es round out the text, offer­ing (a) lists of camps and ghet­tos, (b) a list of Jew­ish resis­tance and par­ti­san groups in the area, and © a list of first-hand accounts (diaries, tes­ti­monies, and inter­views) used in craft­ing the text. An exten­sive bib­li­og­ra­phy is also includ­ed, mak­ing this book a vir­tu­al research guide to local his­to­ry-type stud­ies on the Holo­caust era. Bib­lio., illus., index, maps, notes.
