    Abstract: A wartime and immediate postwar story of Jack (Jakob) Reimer, an ethnic German born in Soviet Ukraine. The son of a de-kulakized Ukrainian German peasant, he was conscripted to the Red Army, captured by the Germans, and in 1942, as a "Volksdeutsche", he volunteered as an SS auxiliary. A graduate of the training center at Trawniki, Poland, he took part in various Nazi anti-Jewish actions, including the suppression of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. After the war Reimer concealed his former service with the Nazis and emigrated to the USA. In the 1980s, in the course of the investigation of John Demjanjuk, Reimer's past was revealed. Argues that, for an ethnic German perpetrator, participation in the Holocaust served as a vehicle for negotiating Eastern Europe's dangerous wartime multiethnic milieu.

    Abstract: Contends that the role of the Black Sea Germans in the Holocaust has been under-estimated and under-examined by historians. Focuses on the "Nazification" of the ethnic Germans of the Odessa Region of Ukraine (in its pre-war borders, the region included 130,000 Germans) in 1941-43 and their being drawn into the mass murder of Jews. Although local Germans welcomed the German occupation, they remained initially ambivalent about the Nazi agenda. Remarkably, they did not carry out autonomous anti-Jewish violence in summer 1941 as, e.g., the Ukrainians did in Galicia. Moreover, they hid a number of Jews intermarried with Germans in their settlements. It was Sonderkommando R of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle that was instrumental in the "Nazification" of the local Germans. This commando formed an ethnic German militia which, in winter 1941-42, against the background of the conflict between the SS and the Romanian authorities of Transnistria over the solution of the "Jewish question", got involved in the mass murders. The murders were rationalized as both a tool of ethnic cleansing of the territory, which was to be Germanized, and a measure to prevent the typhus epidemics. The psychological factors that contributed to the involvement of ethnic German collaborators in the Holocaust included a propensity to obey authorities, peer pressure within the militias, material reward, a wish to punish the "Judeo-Bolshevik" enemies for the pre-war persecution of Germans by the Soviet regime, and an aspiration to demonstrate their "Germanness" to the Nazi rulers.

    Abstract: "The German invasion of the Soviet Union during the Second World War was central to Nazi plans for territorial expansion and genocidal demographic revolution. To create "living space," Nazi Germany pursued two policies. The first was the systematic murder of millions of Jews, Slavs, Roma, and other groups that the Nazis found undesirable on racial, religious, ethnic, ideological, hereditary, or behavioral grounds"--
