Product Description
What was the role played by local police volunteers in the Holocaust? Using powerful eyewitness descriptions from the towns and villages of Belorussia and Ukraine, Martin Dean's new book reveals local policemen as hands-on collaborators of the Nazis. They brutally drove Jewish neighbors from their homes and guarded them closely on the way to their deaths. Some distinguished themselves as ruthless murders. Outnumbering German police manpower in these areas, the local police were the foot-soldiers of the Holocaust in the east.

 Obviously these one-star reviews are missing the whole point of the book! April 5, 2006

A great book that shows readers a look into a side of the holocaust that is somewhat left untaught. How people can accuse Martin of not including facts and figures and making assumptions obviously have done little to no research on the topics he discuses in his book. It's hard to collect facts and evidence on something that happend 50 years ago on a side that is shoved under the carpet.
This is a great look into another significant part of the Holocaust that is sometimes overshadowed by the traditional teachings of the time period.

Dean makes very specific accusations in the very subtitle of this book, yet he provides no documentation to back his assertions. I expect more from a scholar.
Ignore the 5 star reviewers. They do not read history! November 17, 2004

As has already been mentioned --- the author makes numerous assumptions, but offers no proof, because he apparently feels that facts and figures are not required in a holocaust book.
Mr. Dean should not set himself above truthful and honest approach to a touchy subject.

I have a degree in history, my family suffered whats depicted in the book and I am a lawyer who has dealt extensively with Poland. I must say, some Poles, for example, are ashamed of the conduct of some of their countrymen. This is commendable considering that Ukraine -- that still celebrates the mass murderer of Jews Bogdan Chmielnitzki of 1648-49 -- Lithuania, Latvia, BOSNIA, Croatia, Hungary and Romania -- among others -- have not been as forthcoming. This work conrtibutes greatly to an important discussion of facts
