In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918–1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust

byJeffrey Veidlinger

Between 1918 and 1921, over a hundred thousand Jews were murdered in Ukraine by peasants, townsmen, and soldiers who blamed the Jews for the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. In the Midst of Civilized Europe combines archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history, In the Midst of Civilized Europe explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. In the Midst of Civilized Europe emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
