Changing geography
Territories now in Ukraine belonged before the war to the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Statistics therefore require explicit borders and dates.
Mass shootings
Einsatzgruppe C and D, SS and police formations, military authorities and identified auxiliaries participated in mass shootings across the region.
Occupation zones
The District of Galicia, Romanian-administered Transnistria and other military and civil occupation zones produced different systems of persecution.
Major sites
Babyn Yar, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Lviv, Odesa and many smaller sites reveal the breadth of destruction.
Survival
Evacuation eastward, hiding, partisan activity and local circumstances produced sharply different survival experiences.
