Dear colleagues! We are glad to announce that the Curriculum “History of the Holocaust. 10-11 grades (for institutions of general secondary education)” (authors I. Shchupak, V. Maiorskyi) was approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, received the appropriate seal and is already available for viewing on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science.

On May 14, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Remembrance of Ukrainians who rescued Jews during World War II. The memorial date was established by the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dated February 2, 2021, as a sign of respect for the Ukrainian Righteous Among the Nations and other saviors of the Jews, for their compassion and solidarity.
Today, Ukraine ranks fourth in the world in terms of the number of such heroes. As of January 1, 2022, 2,691 people of various ethnic origins who rescued Jews during the Holocaust and lived in the territory of modern Ukraine were honored with this award.

On April 16-17, the international workshop “War and the historian's view. How life during a disaster shapes our understanding of the past” was held in Dnipro. Its purpose was to bring together historians and anthropologists to discuss the impact of the experience of war on us as professionals, our professional community, and our understanding of the past. After all, the modern Russian-Ukrainian war has become the largest conflict in Europe since the end of World War II, and Ukrainian researchers have found themselves in different roles – soldiers on the front lines, bystanders, and refugees. However, regardless of the specific role, experiencing and observing war affects researchers, particularly historians, as professionals.
