"This shockingly powerful and original book is the most detailed account ever written of the ´Second Babi Yar´ in Rovno. Clearly narrating the entangled history of the city and the region of Rovno, it presents an excellent example of transnational history." - Hiroaki Kuromrya, Professor of History, Indiana University, USA, and author of Conscience on Trial: The Fate of Fourteen Pacifists in Stalin´s Ukraine, 1952-1953 (2012)
