Overview
In 1009, the acclaimed author ofĀ Hitlerās FuriesĀ was shown a photograph just brought to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The documentation of the Holocaust is vast, but there are virtually no images of a Jewish family at the actual moment of murder, in this case by German officials and Ukrainian collaborators. A Ukrainian shooterās rifle is inches from a womanās head, obscured in a cloud of smoke. The womanĀ is bending forward, holding the hand of a barefootĀ boy. Andāonly one of the shocking revelations of Wendy Lowerās brilliant ten-year investigation of this imageāthe photograph reveals the shins of another child, slipping from the womanās lap.Ā
Ā Wendy Lowerās gripping detective workāin Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, Israel, and the United Statesārecovers astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air massacres in Ukraine. The identities of the victims, of the killersāand, remarkably, of the photographer who openly took the picture, as a secret act of resistanceāare dramatically uncovered. Finally, in the hands of this exceptional scholar, a single image unlocks a new understanding of the place of the family unit in the history and aftermath of Nazi genocide.
