Voices on War and Genocide

<p> Taking as its point of departure Omer Bartov's acclaimed <em>Anatomy of a Genocide</em> this volume brings together previously unknown accounts by three individuals from Buczacz. These rare narratives give personal glimpses into daily life in unsettled times: a Polish headmaster during World War I a Ukrainian teacher and witness to both Soviet and German rule and a Jewish radio technician genocide survivor and member of the Polish resistance. Together they offer a prismatic perspective on a world remote from our own that nonetheless helps us understand how people not unlike ourselves responded to mass violence and destruction.</p>
