Reviews
"A Summer of Mass Murder provides an excellent account of one of the earliest mass murders in the Holocaust. Eisen's combination of perpetrator, bystander, victim, and survivor histories makes it a powerful contribution to scholarship." -- Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, "The author gives voice to the victims through testimonials gathered from survivors and witnesses. George Eisen has written a readable and accessible book about a horrific chapter in the history of the Holocaust." -- Hungarian Studies Review, "Eisen's multifaceted approach and the detail he often provides constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of this chapter in history." -- Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs, " A Summer of Mass Murder provides an excellent account of one of the earliest mass murders in the Holocaust. Eisen's combination of perpetrator, bystander, victim, and survivor histories makes it a powerful contribution to scholarship." -- Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, "American historian and political scientist George Eisen, a multi-lingual scholar, was able to draw on numerous archives in Hungary, Poland, the United States, Germany, and Israel for his research. Testimonies from witnesses and reports from survivors give a voice to the victims. The analysis of Hungarian secondary literature is also particularly valuable. Because many comprehensive accounts of the history of the Holocaust, including German ones, do not include the summer of mass murders in western Ukraine, which clearly served as a "rehearsal," a trial run for the genocide, it would be desirable for the book, which includes numerous remarkable photos, to be translated into many languages especially in German and help fill this gap in the German-speaking world." -- Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, "Eisen's book is important for understanding the Holocaust in its process and context, as well as for scientific exploration. The book features riveting, never-before-seen or published images Eisen collected from the period. These illustrations are so powerful in visualizing, presenting, and symbolizing the topic that alone for those the book is worth to look at. A Summer of Mass Murder also provides the human dimension of personal experiences in the face of genocide, which often is missing from major historical works." -- Eastern European Holocaust Studies

Synopsis
Most accounts of the Holocaust focus on trainloads of prisoners speeding toward Auschwitz, with its chimneys belching smoke and flames, in the summer of 1944. This book provides a hitherto untold chapter of the Holocaust by exploring a prequel to the gas chambers: the face-to-face mass murder of Jews in Galicia by bullets. The summer of 1941 ushered in a chain of events that had no precedent in the rapidly unfolding history of World War II and the Holocaust. In six weeks, more than twenty thousand Hungarian Jews were forcefully deported to Galicia and summarily executed. In exploring the fate of these Hungarian Jews and their local coreligionists, A Summer of Mass Murder transcends conventional history by introducing a multitude of layers of politics, culture, and, above all, psychology?for both the victims and the executioners. The narrative presents an uncharted territory in Holocaust scholarship with extensive archival research, interviews, and corresponding literature across countries and languages, incorporating many previously unexplored documents and testimonies. Eisen reflects upon the voices of the victims, the images of the perpetrators, whose motivation for murder remains inexplicable. In addition, the author incorporates the long-forgotten testimonies of bystander contemporaries, who unwittingly became part of the unfolding nightmare and recorded the horror in simple words. This book also serves as a personal journey of discovery. Among the twenty thousand people killed was the tale of two brothers, the author?s uncles. In retracing their final fate and how they were swept up in the looming genocide, A Summer of Mass Murder also gives voice to their story., Most accounts of the Holocaust focus on trainloads of prisoners speeding toward Auschwitz, with its chimneys belching smoke and flames, in the summer of 1944.
