International Call for Papers

On November 16-17, 2008, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's
Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies and New York University's
Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies are organizing an
international scholarly conference on Soviet Jewish Soldiers, Jewish
Resistance, and Jews in the USSR during the Holocaust. This conference
will take place in New York City at NYU's Skirball Department of
Hebrew and Judaic Studies.

Masses of rich material have become available since the dissolution of
the Soviet Union, providing new insight into previously under-
researched aspects of the Holocaust on Soviet territory. This joint
conference will examine the Soviet Jewish experience during World War
II and the Holocaust, including but not limited to: Soviet Jewish
soldiers at home and abroad; representations of Jewish soldiers in
press, literature, and films; contextual issues such as German, Axis,
and Soviet policies and attitudes during the Holocaust; Soviet Jewish
combatants in the struggle against Fascism; camps and ghettos in the
Soviet Union; Soviet Jewish life and culture; collaboration as a
Soviet and post-Soviet issue; and the Soviet Shoah and the evolution
of Soviet Jewish consciousness.

WILL THEY BE TELLING THE WORLD HOW JEWISH COMMISSARS SLAUGHTERED MY FAMILY
IN UKRAINE?
