Hidden History of the Kovno Ghetto
Used Book in Good Condition
In the summer of 1941, special killing squads accompanied the German army's sweep through the Baltic States, murdering tens of thousands of Jews. In Kovno, Lithuania, however, four-fifths of the city's 37,000 Jews were spared this deadly assault and were herded instead into a ghetto in the poor suburb of Vilijampole. Via photographs, paintings, drawings, letters, diaries, and reports, this book meticulously records the plight of these persecuted people. A companion volume to a major two-year exhibition at the Holocaust Museum. 285 illustrations, 75 in color.
