In the summer of 1941, the Lviv pogroms, a series of riots, took place in what is now Lviv, Ukraine, but was then German-occupied land in Eastern Poland. In the riots, Ukrainian nationals, joined by German death squads, targeted and killed thousands of Jews. This was part of the anti-Jewish movement at the time and is considered to be part of the Holocaust. Jewish citizens, like the woman in this photograph, were hunted down and violently killed, a tragic part of Ukrainian history that is often overlooked.
