Definizione

In April, the Soviet Union signs a five-year nonaggression treaty with Japan. On June 22 Germany attacks the USSR. The special mobile German killing squads (Einsatzgruppen) begin to exterminate Jews. German advance is so rapid that less than 300,000 Jews are able to escape eastward. In Babi Yar, a ravine situated in Kiev, tens of thousands of Jews are murdered September 29-30. On December 4, the German attack on Moscow is halted. (en-US)
