The Einsatzgruppen were only the thin cutting edge of German units that became involved in political and racial mass murder in Russia.
For Remembrance Day I am reading this book. It puts the WW II sacrifice into stark context. I confess I saw it on Netflix first. It was difficult to watch. Then I bought the book. Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battallion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland, asks an extremely important question—how do ordinary people become mass murderers? The answers are chilling and staggering. An important book. #fridayreads
