Dr. Kiril Feferman's fascinating book analyzes theSoviet Union's treatment of the Holocaust from1941-1964 through the litmus text of the Babi Yarmassacre of 1941. "In the West, while we are familiarwith the concept of Holocaust denial, the Sovietconcept of Holocaust suppression is quite foreign tous, " explains Feferman, Yad Vashem lecturer, researcher, and overall expert on the Former SovietUnion, the Holocaust, and the Second World war.Feferman attempts to answer such questions as: Whyand how did the Soviet views towards theextermination of Jews aim at avoiding Naziaccusations that that the Soviets were fighting 'aJewish war'? Why the Holocaust did not fit in thesimplistic, black-and-white Soviet mindset of "he whois not with us, is against us"? Finally, Why theBolsheviks, who never had any scruples about the manymillions of Soviet civilians they themselves killed, were forced to accept over time that the Holocausthad to be treated differently than other, relatedtopics? Feferman does a masterful job of answeringthese questions and many more in this carefullyresearched, fascinating work.
