Stalinist Terror and genocide

[Elizabeth A. Papazian]

Hello, Subhash:

I strongly recommend Tzvetan Todorov's brilliant "Facing the Extreme: 
Moral Life in the Concentration Camps."  It offers many things, 
including an analysis of "totalitarian" systems in general (focusing on 
the concentration camp as a necessary characteristic -- and as the 
"extreme" case of totalitarianism).  It uses memoirs from the gulag and 
the Nazi concentration camps as source material.

All the best,
EP
