Omer Bartov (Brown University) is the Center's 2016-2017 Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence. In his new book, he discusses how the East Galician town of Buczacz was transformed from a site of coexistence, where Poles, Ukrainians, and Jews had lived side-by-side for centuries, into a site of genocide. Watch a Facebook Live interview with him here.
