“Tkuma” (
Dnepropetrovsk,
Ukraine) is pleased to announce the
regular number of the “Problems of the Holocaust History” journal and to invite
to cooperation scholars worldwide who are interested in contributing to its
forthcoming issues.
The
journal is conceived as an open academic forum that publicizes the achievements
of researchers of any scholars’ academic/educational traditions, specializing
in the history of the Holocaust and other genocides. Thematic priorities and
publication policy are the subjects of consideration by the International
editorial board of the journal.
The journal’s
agenda is aimed at accomplishing the following tasks:
– to
stimulate in-depth studying of various aspects of the Holocaust relating
geographically; to the Ukrainian territory; to reveal both the general and
particular regional, that is, Ukrainian, features in Holocaust history in
comparative perspective provided by the other regions of the former USSR and
Eastern and Western Europe occupied by the Nazis during WWII; to examine
specific features of the Holocaust in various localities of Ukraine under the Nazi
regime;
– to
disseminate and propagate the results of research based on sources not
available or not properly recognized earlier and stored both in Ukrainian and
in foreign archives; to employ historical sources of different character
(testimonies, memoirs and so forth);
– to
promote multidisciplinary approach and encourage the experts in the field of
sociology, political studies, philosophy, and the humanities in general to
participate in the research process, constructing a more complicated picture of
the Holocaust;
– to reveal succession of historical
events, attempting, at the same time, to interpret the causes and preconditions
of the Holocaust; to lay down the foundations of the comparative analysis of
various aspects of the Holocaust and other genocides with references to the
theory and history of nationalism and, in particular, to the place and role the
‘Jewish question’ played in cultural and historical European processes that
preceded the Holocaust and followed after.
A special
attention will be given to the debates on the phenomenon of the Holocaust as a
comparative case in the context of other genocides known to human civilization;
discussions about uniqueness or universality of the Holocaust and moral lessons
to be drawn from it by modern civilization are also to be elucidated on the
journal’s pages.
