The Russian Research and Educational Holocaust Center, founded in Moscow in 1991, was the first established organization in post-Soviet Russia devoted to preserving and disseminating knowledge about the Holocaust. The Center pursues these goals by creating museums and exhibitions, promoting teaching about the Holocaust in the Russian educational system, and collecting evidence and memoirs. Drawing on this work, the lecture will address insights into specific aspects of the Holocaust on the territory of the USSR, including the Kremlin and its attitude to and official Soviet propaganda on the Holocaust and the role of collaborators in the Nazis' mass murder of Soviet Jews.
Moreover, the talk will examine progress and impediments to research conducted in Russia on the Holocaust, such as why not all the archives in Russia have been opened to researchers, and assess whether the topic of the Holocaust has become an integral part of Russian historical literature on World War II in Russia. Finally, collaboration with German historians and the Center's work to prepare an encyclopedia of the Holocaust on the territory of the USSR will be outlined.
