Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine (Repost)

Review
"[Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine] offers an excellent regional account of the Holocaust, carefully unpacking the interaction between higher orders and lower level initiatives in the unfolding of genocide."
— American Historical Review

"A very useful contribution to the field of Holocaust studies. . . . An excellent analysis of Nazi empire-building and the Holocaust in the Zhytomyr district."
— English Historical Quarterly

"Wendy Lower's Nazi Empire-Building and the Holocaust in Ukraine is an outstanding case study, centered on the Zhytomyr District, of German policies in an occupied Western Ukrainian region."–Raul Hilberg, author of The Destruction of the European Jews

"First-rate."
— Journal of Modern History

"Lower presents an extremely important addition to our knowledge of the eastern front in the Second World War. By treating the Holocaust and German colonization policies at the local level, Lower presents social history as the consequence of political history. The 'bottom-up' and the 'top-down' perspectives are beautifully integrated here."
–Timothy Snyder, Yale University
