HOLOCAUST UKRAINE: "OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH"
IT WAS THE ONLY REFUGE THEY HAD LEFT. In 1942, as the Nazis intensified their hold on Eastern Europe, several Jewish families disappeared into the vast underground labyrinths of western Ukraine.

HOLOCAUST UKRAINE; Q&A: 'THE DARKEST DAYS'
In the spring of 1944, a group of 38 Ukrainian Jews emerged weak and
jaundiced from a cave [in Western Ukraine] they'd used for nearly a year
to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Nearly fifty years later, one caver
began his quest to bring their story of survival to life. Caver Chris Nicola
talks about uncovering a heroic tale of Holocaust survival.
