Meet the author Prof. Timothy Snyder (Yale)
Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin 
Friday, October 22, 7:30 p.m.

Americans call the Second World War "The Good War." But before it even 
began, America's wartime ally Josef Stalin had killed millions of his own 
Ukrainian citizens; and kept killing them during and after the war. 
Before Hitler was finally defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and 
nearly as many other Europeans. At war's end, both the German and the 
Soviet killing sites fell behind the iron curtain, leaving the history of 
mass killing in darkness.


Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders 
committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single 
history, in the time and place where they occurred: between Germany and 
Russia, when Hitler and Stalin both held power.

Beginning with Ukraine's Holodomor (the Great Famine of 1932-33 engineered 
by Stalin and his administration), Snyder painstakingly details the 
horrors later inflicted upon Belarusians, Poles, and Jews.

Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly 
definitive,Bloodlands will be required reading for anyone seeking to 
understand the central tragedy of modern history.

During the years that both Stalin and Hitler were in power, far more 
people were killed in Ukraine than anywhere else in the bloodlands, or in 
Europe, or in the world."

Timothy Snyder, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

reception.
