The bones of Berdichev : the life and fate of Vasily Grossman
Born a Russian Jew and an ardent patriot of the Soviet motherland, Vasily Grossman rationalized away the Stalinist horror of his time as he chronicled the Red Army's westward sweep during World War II, becoming the Soviet Army's premier wartime correspondent. It was not until he discovered 30,000 victims were massacred by Nazi forces in his hometown of Berdichev - including his own mother - that he confronted his own Jewishness and the genocidal horror of the Holocaust. Includes bibliographical references (pages 411-422) and index. xxv, 437 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
