Abstract:
Utilizing a variety of evidentiary sources, this article identifies and applies three different levels of narrative of the history of Operation Reinhard in the District of Galicia, revealing the potential benefits and limitations to each approach. Level one applies a macro-historical narrative that looks to broader statistical and data-driven trends. The second level identifies common shared experiences and general conclusions derived from individual experiences, and level three explores the microhistories of particular towns, families, and individuals. The author suggests a better way to comprehend the range of victim, bystander, and perpetrator experiences, and to more fully depict the scope of a major genocidal operation.
