The Holocaust in Ukraine: New Resources and Perspectives
Paris, France
1-3 October 2007

On October 1-3, 2007, the MÈmorial de la Shoah, Paris, the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies,
Yahad-In Unum, and the Centre d'Histoire de l'Europe Centrale of the
University of Paris IV-Sorbonne will hold an international scholarly
conference on
TheHolocaust in Ukraine: New Resources and Perspectives . This conference
will take place in France at the MÈmorial de la Shoah and the University of
ParisIV-Sorbonne.

This joint conference will highlight new resources and cutting-edge research
and documentation on the Holocaust in Ukraine. Sessions will be
dedicated to new historical research and analysis on all aspects of the
Holocaust in Ukraine, including perpetration, collaboration, and local
reaction;
documentation, physical evidence, and testimony; the fate of Jews and other
victim groups-including their history, responses, resistance; and
historical memory and representation.

Applicants interested in presenting a paper should be currently researching
or completing a project related to the above or to other themes
shedding new light on an under-studied aspect of the Holocaust in Ukraine.
Successful candidates will be required to submit a copy of their
presentation six
weeks in advance of the conference, for circulation among all conference
participants.

For applicants whose papers are accepted, the conference organizers will
fund conference related travel and lodging expenses. In addition, five
stipends of $1,000 each to facilitate conference attendance by Ukrainian
nationals who are graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, or junior
faculty members (who have received their doctorates within the last seven
years) will also be awarded. Primary consideration will be given to
Ukrainian nationals who (1) have or are developing the prerequisite skills
to conduct research and teach about World War II, Nazism, and the Holocaust,
especially as it relates to the Holocaust in Ukraine; (2) are seeking to
identify a dissertation topic related to the Holocaust in Ukraine; and (3)
are in departments that do not regularly defray conference
participation costs.

Conference languages will be English and French.
