Abstract

John-Paul Himka’s new book, Ukrainian Nationalists and the Holocaust: OUN and UPA’s Participation in the Destruction of Ukrainian Jewry, 1941-1944, represents a milestone in research on the complicity of the OUN-UPA in the Holocaust. Based on decades worth of research in dozens of archives around the world, Himka makes a well-documented and indisputable case for Ukrainian nationalist involvement in every facet of the Holocaust in Ukraine. The book is accessible to newcomers to the topic, as well as to seasoned veterans of these contentious historiographical debates. This review essay outlines the contributions and raises questions for future research and debate.
