Taking as its point of departure Omer Bartovs acclaimedAnatomy of a Genocide, this volume brings together previously unknown accounts by three individuals from Buczacz. These rare narratives give personal glimpses into daily life in unsettled times: a Polish headmaster during World War I, a Ukrainian teacher and witness to both Soviet and German rule, and a Jewish radio technician, genocide survivor, and member of the Polish resistance. Together, they offer a prismatic perspective on a world remote from our own that nonetheless helps us understand how people not unlike ourselves responded to mass violence and destruction.

Omer Bartov is the Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. He is the author ofAnatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018) along with several other well-regarded scholarly works on the Holocaust and genocide, includingGermanys War and the Holocaust: Disputed Histories (2013) andErased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine (2015).
