Product details

June 22, 1941 - the beginning of the German attack on the Soviet Union. Eight days later, the Wehrmacht captures Lemberg, the capital of Eastern Galicia. The Red Army has retreated. Thousands of corpses lie in Soviet prisons - Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, and German prisoners of war murdered by Stalin's secret police just before their departure. Most Ukrainians celebrate the Germans as liberators. The perpetrators of the massacre are blamed on Nazi propaganda and Ukrainian nationalists, labeled as 'Jewish Bolsheviks.' An anti-Semitic Ukrainian mob, guided by the German SS, rampages through the city, committing murder. It is the overture to the Holocaust. In the city, two young Jewish men endure, who will survive the horrors of the following three years: Simon Wiesenthal, the later 'Nazi hunter,' and Leon Weliczker Wells, whose hellish report 'A Son of Job' will become one of the most significant testimonies of the Shoah. Both repeatedly escape death. They survive Lemberg's notorious Janowska concentration camp, where a camp band plays the 'Death Tango,' endure the Lemberg ghetto, Gestapo detention, and the SS 'special commands,' death marches, and partisan fighting. Two war biographies, one story: of unyielding will to live in the face of the abyss.

For the research for this book, the author traveled to Lviv (Lemberg) in Ukraine and visited the war sites of that time. The books in the 'War Stories' series recount important or symbolic events of World War II in Europe. They connect past and present: vivid historical narrative, authentic fates of both famous and nameless actors in the war, along with contemporary on-site reporting. Involved actors and eyewitnesses share their voices, supplemented by historical documents and literary testimonies - historically precise, compellingly told, and atmospherically rich.
