Despite its almost complete denial in US academia and on the internet, it is now indisputable that revenge for crimes against ethnic Germans in the USSR by Jewish officials was a significant factor in motivating the deportation and shooting of Jews in 1941. This list is a preliminary bibliography of sources documenting how Soviet violence against ethnic Germans motivated retaliatory violence by Berlin against Jews both in the USSR and elsewhere. This is a living document so it will expand beyond these initial seven sources as time goes on.
