Cooperation between Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians in Lviv during WWII

Thursday, October 20, 2016 — 4:00PM - 6:00PM 1 Devonshire Place

During WWII Lviv experienced a variety of traumatic occupations that disrupted the balance of relations between its major ethnic inhabitants, Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians. Prof Hnatiuk explores the myths, the animosities, and the interactions between these groups during the war years, dispelling many of the presumed truths about irremediable hostility and conflicts. Her focus is on the relations between individuals as documented in personal archives rather than on collective perceptions and activities.
