Seminar on Teaching Holocaust History at High School in Chernivtsi
On 4-6 October 2024, Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University hosted a research and methodological seminar for university professors entitled ‘Teaching Holocaust History at High School’. The seminar was organised by the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies in cooperation with and the financial support of the International Project “Tracks of Memory” of the Düsseldorf Jewish Community.
The seminar brought together 20 professors from 18 different regions of Ukraine to discuss how Holocaust history is taught in Ukrainian higher education institutions, the challenges they face, and to share best practices and their own teaching experiences.
The programme also included guest lectures, including Anatolii Podolskyi, director of the Ukrainian Centre for Holocaust Studies.
A special part of the programme was the performance Sidi Tal. Aydyshe Neshume on the stage of the Olha Kobylianska Chernivtsi Academic Regional Ukrainian Music and Drama Theatre.
All participants also received a set of UCHS publications and other books on genocide studies. Currently, the seminar participants are working together to create the basis for a future methodological guide for teaching Holocaust history in higher education.

This is a stumbling stone — a small concrete cube with a brass plate. Often unnoticed by those rushing past, but deeply eloquent to those who pause. Each stone marks a story. A life. And a memory returning to the city. Since August 2025, the Kyiv project “One Stone — One Life: 80 Stumbling Stones for Kyiv” has continued its work. This autumn will bring new installations, new names, new research, and new teams, which we will begin forming in September. Follow our announcements — it might just be you
