Conflicting Perspectives on Timothy Snyder's Black Earth
FORUM Conflicting Perspectives on Timothy Snyder’s Black Earth ✣ Reviews by Michael Berenbaum and Jeffrey Herf Timothy Snyder, Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning.New York: Tim Duggan Books, 2015. 462 pp. $35.00. Reviewed by Michael Berenbaum, American Jewish University Timothy Snyder’s much-acclaimed book Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin, published by Basic Books in 2010, aroused serious concern among many Holocaust historians. They feared that his emphasis on dou- ble genocide—German and Soviet—was a backdoor attempt to diminish the uniqueness and singularity of the Holocaust. In Black Earth Snyder’s emphasis on the Holocaust and its lessons should assuage these critics. Early in the book he writes: “The History of the Holocaust is not over. Its precedent is eternal and its lessons have not yet been learned. The Holocaust is not only history but warning.” He makes good on this promise, perhaps too good. He treats the Holocaust as the axial event of modern history, thus giving testimony to its centrality. Jews are central to the history he narrates. He begins the same way many histories of the Holocaust must begin—with Adolf Hitler (no Hitler, no Holo- caust) and what he considers to be the two defining elements of Hitler’s world- view. Hitler’s quest for Lebensraum, defined not only as living space but as space to live well, makes the Ukraine a natural German target, for it is the breadbasket of Europe. For Hitler, the Volga was Germany’s Mississippi, and he admired the U.S. doctrine of Manifest Destiny. -

A History of the UOCC
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF CANADA UOCC Cathedral pictureThe seed of the Orthodox Faith was sowed on the Canadian land, not by missionaries, but by simple peasants, who came from Ukraine and established themselves on the Canadian prairies. It is indeed on this simple, but at the same time deep, faith of the Ukrainian peasants-pioneers that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada was established. Most of the first Ukrainian settlers came to Canada from Halychyna (where they were Greek Catholics) and from Bukovyna (where they belonged to the Orthodox Church). The Halychany, settling in Canada, where visited once in awhile by Greek-Catholic priests, but the Vatican wished to attached them to the Roman-Catholic Church already in existence, which would have assimilated them. The Bukovynians arriving in North America usually incorporated themselves into the Russian Orthodox Mission, which was already in existence. Nevertheless, the Ukrainian immigrants desired to have a Church with a Ukrainian character, which would be closer to the spiritual and cultural needs of the Ukrainian people, and this led to the formation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. In July 1918 a confidential conference of disenchanted lay Catholics from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta created a Ukrainian Orthodox Brotherhood — its goal — to organize the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada. Although the Ukrainian settlers who took part in the organization of this Church body were not theologians, they were conscious of the canon law that a Church body cannot exist without a bishop. Thus, the brotherhood contacted Archbishop Alexander, an ethnic Ukrainian in the Russian Orthodox Mission in North America, who initially accepted to become the temporary bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Orthodox Church of Canada (U.G.O.C.C.) and to preside at its first Sobor, but later refused. -
The Memory of Auschwitz and the Oblivion of Bloodlands
The Memory of Auschwitz and the Oblivion of Bloodlands Robert Jan van Pelt “Lech, Lecha.”—“Go for yourself.” The words God spoke to Abra(ha)m when he instructed him to leave his native Ur and realize his destiny flashed through my brain during a rude intervention in the middle of a major commemorative lecture on Auschwitz, given at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, on January 26, 2010. In my lecture, I had raised the question why Auschwitz had become, for better or worse, a major symbol of the Holocaust. I felt I was qualified to both ask and answer that question, as I had researched the history of Auschwitz for more than a quarter century. Whilst talking, I noticed an increasingly agitated gentleman in the back of the room. At one moment he couldn’t control himself, stood up, and began to profess, with a loud voice, that Auschwitz was largely irrelevant for our understanding of the Holocaust and that my own work on the camp had been a waste of my time; he said that the only truly relevant work on the Holocaust had been undertaken by the French cleric Father Patrick Desbois, who, beginning in 2003, had been identifying and digging up mass graves in the Ukraine and collecting testimonies of witnesses, and who had published his findings in his best-selling and award-winning The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest's Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews (2008). “Why weren’t you like Father Desbois?” the man asked me. -

The thesis addresses the steps taken by Viktor Yushchenko in Ukraine to promote this identity, constructed in the diaspora, by seeking the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide by Ukraine‘s population, as well as the international community. The thesis also discusses the divergent views of history and culture in Ukraine and how these differences hindered of acceptance of Viktor Yushchenko‘s Holodomor policies.

1 Bibliographic Note and Guide to Further Research Compiling A
Bibliographic Note and Guide to Further Research Compiling a bibliography for a book such as this presented us with a few unexpected problems. We realized that, at best, we could offer readers only a select bibliography. As this volume already contains important selections to which readers can refer, repeating those entries in a bibliography seemed pointless. Moreover, readers can easily refer to the original works from which excerpts have been reprinted here. Most important, it made no sense to provide print sources for further research when existing digital sites list much of this literature. We therefore decided to direct readers to some important bibliographies and to a number of online sites as guides to further reading or research. The best and most comprehensive published bibliography to date is the second edition of Holodomor v Ukraïni 1932–1933 rr. Bibliohrafichnyi pokazhchyk (The Holodomor in Ukraine, 1932–33: A Bibliographic Guide), compiled by L. M. Bur’ian et al. (Odesa: Studiia Nehotsiant, 2008). The first edition, under the same title, was published in Odesa and Lviv by M. P. Kots in 2001. A select bibliography appears in Wsevolod W. Isajiw, ed., Famine-Genocide in Ukraine, 1932–1933: Western Archives, Testimonies and New Research (Toronto: Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre, 2003). Also useful is Andrew Gregorovich, Holodomor Bibliography: Ukrainian Famine-Genocide 1932–33 in English Language Resources (Toronto: Ucrainica Research Institute, 2011). There are many Internet sites comprising bibliographies and other resources. A bibliography by Cheryl A. Madden including many English-language titles may be found on the website of the Shevchenko Scientific Society: http://www.shevchenko.org/famine/index,htm.
