The library
of the Russian Research and Educational
Center is regularly enriched with new
international books, dealing with the theme of the holocaust on the occupied
territories of the USSR.
Due to the German book “Holocaust in Litauen” (Böhlau Verlag, 2008), the book “The Shoah in Ukraine”, edited by Ray Brandon and Wendy Lower (published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) can be found in our library now.
For the Ukraine was home to the largest population of Jews in the Russian Empire, it was one of the most important centers of Jewish life and culture, destroyed by the holocaust. Until yet, less is known about this part of the holocaust history and the book tells us more about lives and deaths of not only Jews, but Poles, Russians, Romanians and many more in this part of Europe
