The documentation of the Holocaust is vast, but there are virtually no images of a Jewish family at the actual moment of murder, in this case by German officials and Ukrainian collaborators. A Ukrainian shooters rifle is inches from a womans head, obscured in a cloud of smoke. The woman is bending forward, holding the hand of a barefoot boy. And-only one of the shocking revelations of Wendy Lowers brilliant ten-year investigation of this image-the photograph reveals the shins of another child, slipping from the womans lap.Wendy Lowers gripping detective work-in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, Israel, and the United States-recovers astonishing layers of detail concerning the open-air massacres in Ukraine. The identities of the victims, of the killers-and, remarkably, of the photographer who openly took the picture, as a secret act of resistance-are dramatically uncovered. Finally, in the hands of this exceptional scholar, a single image unlocks a new understanding of the place of the family unit in the history and aftermath of Nazi genocide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536281370912,"sku":"NEW0358627931","price":16.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91hyCM3m8vL_fcc1f216-8b24-4b64-842b-3fe3fd27540d.jpg?v=1777411575","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-ravine-a-family-a-photograph-a-holocaust-massacre-revealed-0358627931","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
