History and memory of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union

Christina Winkler

PULS

The Holocaust in the Soviet Union has long been neglected by western research because the relevant document collections were not accessible to historians. This has begun to change, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem have created research centers and programs with a focus on the Holocaust in the Soviet Union. By studying sources resulting e.g. from post-war trials, the course looks at specific events such as the mass atrocities of Babyn Yar, Rostov-on-Don as well as others and their evaluation in Soviet historiography and asks how post-Soviet cultures of remembrance have developed in ed successor states. German language skills are necessary for this course.
