In an extensive introductory essay, the Editor provides the historical and political background that traces the practice of genocide in contrast to an evolving concept of basic human rights in modern international relations.The anthology contains German government documents of 1943/44 based on the findings of various medical commissions, legal investigations, and interviews with the local population. It also includes eyewitness testimonies and Congressional Hearings of those who were present at the opening of the Vinnytsia mass graves, as well as selected articles written since this event. In retrospect, the articles are meant to convey the sense of the public’s reaction to this tragedy over the past fifty years. By focusing on the unpredictability of Stalin’s rule, this work also hints at the vulnerability of an individual caught in the cobweb of a totalitarian system of justice.
