Cannibal Island: Death in a Siberian Gulag (Human Rights and Crimes against Humanity)

Nicolas Werth

Princeton University Press, 2007

Powerful. Incredible. The holocaust at Cannibal Island.
In the 1930's Stalin decided to liquidate the all kulaks, those peasants who owned at least a bit of property. After having their crops confiscated, peasants starved to death by the millions. Some suffered an even worse fate. They were sent to Siberia's Cannibal ...

Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland

Jan T. Gross

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

A Book of Pain and Wonderment
I was assigned this book to read for a graduate seminar I'm taking in Eastern European History. I was reluctant to take on the assigment; the Holocaust has never been a topic which interested me greatly and, furthermore, I've never been enthralled by modern European ...

NEIGHBOURS: THE DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY IN JEDWABNE, POLAND

Revolution from Abroad: The Soviet Conquest of Poland's Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia

Jan T. Gross

Princeton University Press, 2002

Brilliant analysis of an ignored event of World War II
The main primary source of this book is a collection of thousands of handwritten statements collected by the Polish government in exile when they interviewed the surviving Polish citizens released after the 1942 "amnesty" of those detained by the Soviets after 1939. ...

The Politics of Retribution in Europe

Princeton University Press, 2000

Intriguing Exploration Of European Retribution After WW II!
It's an old and acknowledged saw that "to the victors go the spoils". What should be added to this splendidly commonplace bit of street lore is the similarly well-acknowledged fact that it is indeed the victors who get to write and thereby promulgate the official ...
