Summary |
"According to German book-keeping, more than a million Jews were shot by Himmler's police forces and their local collaborators in the east. Martin Dean's new book examines the participation of local Belorussian and Ukrainian police in this crime."--BOOK JACKET. "Who were these people and what were their motives? Many of 'Hitler's willing 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."--BOOK JACKET |
