Abstract

Nazi Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 marked a crucial rupture in Soviet and East European history. Within weeks, the Soviet western regions came under German control. During the ensuing occupation, some worlds were completely eradicated, foremost the world of East European Jewry, while others underwent fundamental change. After the Soviets returned, the choices that people in occupied territory had made, and the choices that they had been forced to make, haunted state and society alike.
