Soviet Prisoners of War, Mauthausen Concentration Camp
In eight months of 1941-42, the invading German armies killed an estimated 2.8 million Soviet prisoners-of-war. The episode, according to Adam Jones, “vies with the genocide in Rwanda as the most concentrated mass-killing in human history.” There is good reason to think, Jones said, that this rate of killing “exceeds even the worst period of the Holocaust against the Jews.”
