Collaboration in the Holocaust: Crimes of the Local Police in Belorussia and Ukraine, 1941-44 - Hardback - 9780333688922

What was the role played by local police volunteers in the Holocaust? Using powerful eye-witness descriptions from the towns and villages of Belorussia and Ukraine, Martin Dean's book reveals local policemen as hands-on collaborators of the Nazis. They brutally drove Jewish neighbours from their homes and guarded them closely on the way to their deaths. Some distinguished themselves as ruthless murderers. Outnumbering German police manpower in these areas, the local police were the foot-soldiers of the Holocaust in the East.
