Ukraine in Context

Jewish Perspectives on Ukraine, Present and Past – Mini Interviews

Ukraine was once home to the second-largest Jewish population in Europe, including countless communities shaped by many influences: from the Czarist Empire in the east to the Habsburg Monarchy in the West, from secular modernity in the major cities to the abiding traditions of the shtetl; from the free port of Odesa on the Black Sea to the intellectual metropolis of Kharkiv.

Alongside the discussion series at the museum, this online feature explores questions relevant to Ukraine past and present from a Jewish perspective.
