The Project was born when Professor Omer Bartov began to question his Israeli family on their European origins. The answers led him to a long exploration of places, archives, passages, books, monuments, and memories of the most brutal chapter in the history of the twentieth century. The genocide perpetrated by the Nazi's and their accomplices in Ukraine was not a methodical industrial activity, but rather an endless succession of almost intimately crafted killings. Some responsible even benefitted politically or economically. The echoes of what happened arrive today as small keys that help us understand the past and present. Not all was erased, and they search for attentive readers with a desire to listen.
