    There’s fascinating primary source documents, called yitzkor books. People wrote these as memorials to their villages (very often in Ukraine), giving personal and community histories, often including the holocaust and it’s aftermath. Some are boring. Some are harrowing. A lot are not translated to English, but some are. I love reading these. I’ve found some wild and illuminating tales, and at least what I’ve encountered has been universally pro soviet.

    Here’s a good source: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/
