Lecture: Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz

Omer Bartov discusses his new book "Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz" (Simon and Schuster). The book is a fascinating and cautionary examination of how genocide can take root at the local level -- turning neighbors, friends, and even family members against one another -- as seen through the Eastern European border town of Buczacz during World War II. This lecture is part of the Department of Jewish Studies 2018 - 19 lecture series, Holocaust Across the Disciplines. Funded in part by the Morris Weiss Award in Holocaust Education. Reception to follow. Co-sponsors: Holocaust Center of San Francisco (a division of Jewish Family and Children's Services), History Department.
