500    Explores the causes and implications of the Nazi-Soviet 
       Pact, an unholy covenant whose creation and dissolution 
       were crucial turning points in World War II. Forged by the
       German foreign minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and his 
       Soviet counterpart, Vyacheslav Molotov, the nonaggression 
       treaty briefly united the two powers in a brutally 
       efficient collaboration. Together, the Germans and Soviets
       quickly conquered and divided central and eastern Europe; 
       Poland, the Baltic States, Finland, and Bessarabia. The 
       human cost was staggering: during the two years of the 
       pact hundreds of thousands of people in central and 
       eastern Europe caught between Hitler and Stalin were 
       expropriated, deported, or killed.
