ALLIANCE FOR MURDER:
THE NAZI-UKRAINIAN
NATIONALIST PARTNERSHIP IN GENOCIDE
Edited by B. F. Sabrin
The story of the partnership of
Ukrainian nationalists with the SS to implement the "Final
Solution" in World War II. Nazi political goals coincided
with those of nationalist organisations with chilling
results. There are first hand, eyewitness accounts by
victims, plus objective analyses of the events surrounding
the horrific crimes. Ukranian motivations, and the failings
of the Jewish population in Poland and the USSR to react
decisively to impending Nazi occupation are documented.
Features many previously unpublished photographs.
An intimate view of what went on
behind the scenes in the Third Reich, drawn from interviews
with contemporaries and eyewitnesses, and access to
documents and archives. It examines the lives of Goebbels,
Goering, Himmler, Hess, Speer and Donitz, tracing their
relationships with Hitler and with Nazism. These people
shared an awestruck dedication to the Fuhrer and a deep
hatred of Jews. Through diaries and the first-hand
observations of those around them, their personalities are
brought to light.
