Overview
In 2009, the acclaimed author of Hitlerās Furies 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 woman's head, obscured in a cloud of smoke. She is bending forward, holding the hand of a barefooted little boy. Andāonly one of the shocking revelations of Wendy Lowerās brilliant ten-year investigation of this imageāthe shins of another child, slipping from the womanās lap.

Wendy Lowerās forensic and archival detective workāin Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, Israel, and the United Statesārecovers astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air massacres in Ukraine. The identities of mother and children, of the killersāand, remarkably, of the Slovakian photographer who openly took the image, as a secret act of resistanceāare dramatically uncovered. Finally, in the hands of this brilliant exceptional scholar, a single image unlocks a new understanding of the place of the family unit in the ideology of Nazi genocide.Ā Ā Ā Ā
