International Seminar for Educators in Lublin (Poland)

On 16.06-21.06 2024, the international seminar Unveiling "Aktion Reinhardt": A Multi-Perspective Exploration, at which the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies was represented by Anastasiia Mikheieva and Lesia Yurchyshyn.

The seminar was organised by the Grodzka Gate-NN Theatre in cooperation with The House of Wannsee Conference and aimed to explore the main aspects of the planning, implementation, and consequences of the Aktion Reinhardt, which was carried out by the German Nazis on the territory of the so-called Generalgouvernement (the modern territory of the Republic of Poland and Ukraine) in 1941-1943.

During the seminar, the participants visited the sites associated with the implementation of the Aktion Reinhardt, including the death camps of Bełżec, Sobibór, and Majdanek.

In addition, the cultural diversity of the seminar participants provided an opportunity to learn about different commemorative practices that can be used in Ukraine. In private conversations, participants from the Republic of Poland, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Italian Republic, Romania, the State of Israel, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg were interested in how the Ukrainian community is currently studying and talking about the Holocaust, so we would like to remind you of the UCHS educational publication "How to Talk about the Holocaust after 24 February 2022"
