Unveiling a Hidden Chapter of Nazi Atrocities: A New Look at the Soviet Genocide
This revised and expanded second edition presents a compelling historical analysis of one of the most devastating yet under-recognized crimes of the Third Reich. Drawing from an extensive array of documents—including materials never before published in Russian—historian Egor Yakovlev argues that in spring 1941, German leaders secretly agreed upon a plan for the partial annihilation of the peoples of the USSR. According to the author, this plan was designed to claim between 20 and 30 million lives during the winter of 1941–1942 alone.
The book connects seemingly disparate tragedies—the mass deaths of Soviet prisoners of war, the deliberate starvation of cities, the burning of villages, the Siege of Leningrad, and aspects of the Holocaust—as components of a single, coordinated policy. Yakovlev presents a fundamentally new interpretation of Hitler’s aggression, aiming to provide substantial evidence for the official recognition of the genocide of Soviet peoples by the Nazis. For this second edition, the author has thoroughly revised and doubled the length of the original text, offering a deeper, more comprehensive examination of these historical events.
