SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion: Ukrainian-Jewish Relations: History and Russian Instrumentalisation
DESCRIPTION:A crowd assaults and abuses Jewish women during the Lviv Pogrom\, 30 June and 1 July 1941. Wiener Holocaust Library Collections. \nIn light of Vladimir Putin’s spurious goal of “de-Nazifying” Ukraine and to think about how historical knowledge can be applied to current crises\, the Library is pleased to host this panel which will analyse Ukrainian-Jewish relations in the 20th and 21st centuries. The panel brings together experts on the Russian Civil Wars and their aftermath\, the Second World War\, and the Euromaidan and ensuing war. They will discuss not only the history of these events but also the way in which Russia has instrumentalised them to justify its recent invasion of Ukraine. \nAmong other topics\, the panel will examine the role of Ukrainian nationalist groups in antisemitic violence in the periods 1918-1921 and 1941-1945. It will analyse and contextualise the “history wars” that erupted after the fall of Viktor Yanukovych in 2014\, which\, to a large degree\, focused on interpretations of these events. Here\, it will pay particular attention to the Russian use of Ukraine’s early twentieth-century history to delegitimise the contemporary Ukrainian state and the attempt by some Ukrainian historians to counter this through blank denial. It will not ignore\, however\, the development of a new generation of Ukrainian historians endeavouring to assess honestly the violent periods of the country’s past. \nAbout the speakers: \nProfessor Elissa Bemporad is the Jerry and William Ungar Professor of East European Jewish History and the Holocaust at Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is the author of Becoming Soviet Jews: The Bolshevik Experiment in Minsk (Indiana University Press\, 2013)\, winner of the National Jewish Book Award and of the Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History. Her new book\, entitled Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets\, was published with Oxford University Press in fall 2019 and won a National Jewish Book Award. \nProfessor John-Paul Himka is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Alberta. He is co-editor (with Joanna B. Michlic) of Bringing the Dark Past to Light: The Reception of the Holocaust in Post-Communist Europe (University of Nebraska Press 2013)\, as well as author of a number of books and numerous articles on Ukrainian history\, including Ukrainian Nationalists and the Holocaust. \nSam Sokol is a reporter for the Israeli daily Haaretz. He was previously a correspondent at the Jerusalem Post and has reported for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency\, the Israel Broadcasting Authority and the Times of Israel. He is the author of Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews. \nChaired by: \nDr Christopher Gilley did doctoral and post-doctoral research on Sovietophile Ukrainians in the 1920s and warlordism in Ukraine\, 1917-1922. As part of the latter project\, he also wrote about the antisemitic pogroms of the period. He then retrained as an archivist and is now working as a project archivist on The Wiener Holocaust Library’s Digital Transformation Project. \nEvent guidelines: \n1.

SUMMARY:Virtual Panel Discussion: Antisemitism\, Race and Violence in the Russian Empire
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s Racism\, Antisemitism\, Colonialism and Genocide event series. \nFuneral held for desecrated Torah scrolls following the Kishinev pogrom of 1903\, in which 49 Jews were murdered and hundreds of women raped (public domain). Kishinev was then in the Russian Empire. \nDiscussions about the mass violence and racism perpetrated by European empires during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries do not always consider the situation in the Russian Empire\, where genocide was committed against Muslim Circassians from the 1830s-1860s\, and where the Jewish population suffered repeated waves of state-orchestrated discrimination\, persecution and violence. This event will consider these events and the significance of racism and antisemitism in Imperial Russia. It will examine the legacies of these acts of ethnic mass violence during the Russian Civil War and in Nazi Germany. \nAbout the speakers: \nDr Polly Zavadivker is Assistant Professor of History and Jewish Studies and the Director of the Jewish Studies programme at the University of Delaware. She is the author of A Nation of Refugees: World War I and Russia’s Jews (Oxford University Press\, forthcoming) and 1915 Diary of S. An-sky: A Russian Jewish Writer at the Eastern Front (2016). \nDr Brendan McGeever is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Birkbeck\, University of London where he is also a Research Associate at the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism. He is the author of the prize-winning Antisemitism and the Russian Revolution (Cambridge University Press 2019). \nDr Andrew Sloin is Associate Professor of History and Co-Director of the Sandra K. Wasserman Jewish Studies Center at Baruch College\, City University of New York. He has expertise in Russian\, East European\, Soviet\, and Jewish history. He is the author of The Jewish Revolution in Belorussia: Economy\, Race\, and Bolshevik Power (2017). \nEvent guidelines: \n1.
