This documentary traces the beginning of the Nazi Holocaust on Soviet soil, then brings the story up to the present with footage of neo-Nazi skinhead groups continuing attacks in Ukrainian cities today. The film was directed by Daniel Reynolds, who was a Peace Corps worker in the Ukraine at the time he became interested in the film's subject after reading a seminal book by Professor John Garrard of the The University of Arizona department of Russian and Slavic studies, and Carol Garrard. An additional short documentary, which focuses on a massacre at Berdichev, will also be shown. The films will be introduced by Theresa Polowy, head of the department of Russian and Slavic studies, and the Garrards will be on hand to expand on the film and answer questions. This event is part of Humanities Week at the UA. To see a complete schedule of activities – free and open to the public – go to the College of Humanities Web site. Click on "Humanities Week 2009."
