About the Project

The research project «Jewish Heritage in Ukraine: Interdisciplinary Reflections Through the Lenses of Archival Documents, Culture, History and Literature» focuses on the comprehensive study and systematization of data on existing archival collections in target cities and regions. The information gathered will serve as a basis for promoting these materials and ensuring their availability for further large-scale interdisciplinary research.

An important outcome of the project will be the preparation of a series of academic publications. These include an interdisciplinary collective monograph «Jewish Heritage in Ukraine: Culture, History, Literature and Beyond», an anthology «Ukrainian-Jewish Relations in the Dissident Movement», and a textbook «Anthology of Jewish Literature in Ukraine» which will highlight various aspects of Jewish heritage in the Ukrainian context.

As part of the project, the Virtual Museum of Jewish Heritage at the Center for Research on the History and Culture of Eastern European Judaism at NaUKMA will be enriched with new scientific research and archival findings. All materials will be available to the public.

A special focus of the project is to promote knowledge about Jewish heritage in Ukraine among the professional community and the general public. This will be achieved through conferences, round tables, blog posts, and online discussions.
