Description
In 2008 the Polish Senate and Sejm passed declarations regarding the Famine of 1932–33 in Ukraine on the 75th anniversary of that event. That same year the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (INR) and the State Archives Branch of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) jointly published a collection of documents in Polish about the Holodomor (as part of a series “Poland and Ukraine in the 1930s–1940s: Unknown Documents from the Archives of the Secret Services”), which appeared the following year in English translation. The compilation was notable for its inclusion of materials from Polish diplomatic sources and intelligence officers, and many of the items included had never been previously published. This presentation will discuss the history of co-operation between the INR and SSU on archival projects as well as examine the collection Holodomor: The Great Famine in Ukraine, 1932–1933.
