Legacies of WWII and the Holocaust in Ukraine: New Research, Archival Discoveries, and Local Memory
Fri, October 24, 8:30 to 10:15am EDT (8:30 to 10:15am EDT), -Session Submission Type: Panel
Brief Description
This panel presents new research on the history and memory of WWII and the Holocaust in Ukraine, emphasizing new findings and sources on German occupation, treatment of Soviet POWs, local collaboration, and the experiences of Ukrainian Jews during the Holocaust. Through case studies in German-occupied Kremenchuk and Chernihiv regions, panelists explore how Nazi policies were implemented at the local level and on the role of local collaboration in genocidal violence. By examining newly uncovered archival sources, survivors’ testimonies, ego-documents, and postwar trials – many of these sources being used for the first time – this panel also reassess the history and memory of Soviet POWs in Ukraine and the interactions between the Red Army and Holocaust survivors in liberated Transcarpathia. The papers in this session collectively examine the complex processes of occupation, collaboration, destruction of Ukrainian Jewry, and interethnic dynamics in the aftermath of the Holocaust, offering new insights into history and memory about WWII and the Holocaust in Ukraine.
