Descrizione
During 1941 and 1942 between 700,000 and 3,000,000 Jews were killed in the Nazi-occupied territories of the Soviet Union. The Nazis saw a particular urgency in rapidly exterminating the Jews whom they regarded as the mainstay of the Bolshevik regime. Despite the enormous loss of Jewish lives, most Soviet accounts of the Great Patriotic War ( the eastern front of World War II) did not treat the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish phenomenon
