Buczacz war jahrhundertelang eine vielsprachige Kleinstadt in einer osteuropäischen Grenzregion. Als die polnischen und ukrainischen Nationalbewegungen sich gegen die imperiale Macht auflehnten, geriet eine Gruppe zwischen alle Fronten: die Juden. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wurden sie zu den Leidtragenden einer gescheiterten Minderheitenpolitik.

Kurz vor ihrem Tod berichtete sie dem Sohn über ihre Heimatstadt, »vom Leben und Sterben einer Stadt«, wie es im Untertitel heißt. Die Geschichte des Genozids ist zugleich Lebensgeschichte.

From cinema s beginnings, the film image of the "Jew" has closely followed the fortunes and misfortunes of Jews. Analyzing more than 70 films made in the Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, East and West Germany, France, Italy, the United States, and Israel from 1920 to the 1990s, noted historian Omer Bartov argues that depictions of the "Jew" in film have been fed by, or have reacted to, certain stereotypical depictions of Jews arising from age-old prejudices. These images, in turn, both reflected public attitudes and helped to shape them. He points to...

In Erased, Omer Bartov uncovers the rapidly disappearing vestiges of the Jews of western Ukraine, who were rounded up and murdered by the Nazis during World War II with help from the local populace. What begins as a deeply personal chronicle of the Holocaust in his mother's hometown of Buchach--in former Eastern Galicia--carries him on a journey across the region and back through history. This poignant travelogue reveals the complete erasure of the Jews and their removal from public memory, a blatant act of forgetting done in the service of a fiercely aggressive Ukrainian...
