Abstract:
In a search for relics of the rich pre-Holocaust Jewish culture and of Holocaust memorials in former Galicia, finds these almost completely missing. Even when there is a tablet commemorating a Nazi massacre, it does not mention that the victims were Jews nor that many of the murderers were Ukrainians. Synagogues, cemeteries, and other Jewish sites, when they were not destroyed by the Nazis or the Soviets, are neglected or converted to other uses without a sign referring to their Jewish past. The Ukrainians glorify only their own heroic past, including the anti-Soviet militias that collaborated in the killing of Jews, and suppress the memory of the other nationalities who once shared this formerly multicultural land.
