A meticulously researched account, In the Midst of Civilized Europe explores the often-overlooked pogroms against Ukrainian Jews between 1918 and 1921, depicting how widespread violence, murder, and destruction were fueled by social unrest following the Russian Revolution. Drawing on newly uncovered archival materials and witness testimonies, the book reveals how these events set the stage for the Holocaust, illustrating the complex motives and widespread acceptance of violence against Jews during that turbulent period.
