Mr Snyder shifts the usual geographical focus away from the perpetrator countries to theplaces where they first colluded and then collided. Germany and Russia mostly fared better, or less horribly, than the places in between . No corner of whatare now Belarus and Ukraine was spared. Much of Germany and even more of Russia wasunscathed, at least physically, by war.
作者将地理上的关注点从传统的两个罪恶国家,转移到了两国初次勾结而后又发生冲突的地方。德国和俄罗斯两国所付出的代价在大都比两国之间其他欧洲地区更小,或者没那么可怕。。现在的白俄罗斯和乌克兰全境的每个角落都无一幸免。 而德国的很多地方和俄罗斯的更多地方都未遭受战争的伤害,至少未受有形的伤害。
He also corrects exaggerations, misapprehensions and simplifications. The bestial treatmentof slave labourers in concentration camps, and the use of gas chambers, are commonlyseen as the epitomes of Nazi persecution. But the Germans also shot and starved millions ofpeople, as well as gassed and worked them to death. In just a few days in 1941, the Nazisshot more Jews in the east than they had inmates in all their concentration camps.
作者同样纠正了一些对历史的夸大、误解和简单化现象。在对纳粹迫害的记述概要中,经常可以看到集中营对奴隶劳工非人的虐待和毒气室的使用。但德国人除了用毒气毒死和活活累死大批人之外,也枪杀和饿死了数以百万计的人。仅在1941年的几天内,纳粹在东线枪杀的犹太人数量,就比所有集中营的囚犯人数还要多。
