Hanovers description of the atrocities commited* by Chmielnicki and his hordes makes it clear that they set the precedent for Hitlers torture chambers.

Professor Helmreich, in his new introduction, describes the- period of relative peace and prosperity for the Jews immediately preceding the massacres.
