P. 23–52.
Following the division of the territory of Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939, the USSR gained more than 12 million former Polish citizens, among which some 10 percent were Jews.1 Further, the actual number of Jews in the newly annexed region increased with the arrival of refugees from the Generalgouvernement (part of the Polish territory occupied by the Third Reich). The vast majority of these were Jews who fled to Soviet territory to save themselves from Nazi persecution. The article is devoted to this historical subject

Entire communities were ghettoized and isolated from the outside world. The forced removal of the Jews from the midst of the non-Jewish population facilitated the crimes committed against them, significantly ...

A strict ban on organized Jewish activities apart from those of a limited number of religious bodies, coupled with the state monopoly on all publishing, simplified the Soviet Union’s control over Holocaust-related publication. The appearance of any such work was an idiosyncratic event, associated with concurrent political and cultural contexts and official agendas. The relatively ...

Киевский овраг Бабий Яр – одна из «столиц» Холокоста, место рекордного единовременного убийства евреев, вероломно, под угрозой смерти, собранных сюда якобы для выселения.

Своими корнями антисемитизм уходит далеко в прошлое. Сегодня представляется невозможным определить, был ли антисемитизм на протяжении столетий в Германии сильнее, чем в других странах Европы (Франция, Польша, Россия), поскольку с точки зрения исторической науки такие явления, как ненависть, предрассудки, не поддаются точным измерениям. Однако наибольшего расцвета ненависть и предрассудки в отноше-нии евреев достигли именно в ...
