Lviv pogroms (1941)

Lviv, July 1941

  • ... that the photographs of the 1941 Lviv pogroms (pictured) were described by historians as "infamous", "horrific", and "almost iconic"? "infamous": Pohl, Dieter (2008). Shared History, Divided Memory. Leipziger Universitätsverlag.; "horrific" (Quote from Beorn's The Holocaust in Eastern Europe, p. 136: "the horrific photos taken of brutalized Jewish women"); "almost iconic": Snyder (ed.), Tymothy (2014). Stalin and Europe: Imitation and Domination, 1928-1953. Oxford University Press. {{cite book}}: |last1= has generic name (help)
  • ALT1:... that no memorials to the victims of the Lviv pogroms of 1941 (pictured) were constructed in Lviv in either the Soviet Union nor in independent Ukraine? Blacker, Uilleam (2014). "Urban commemoration and literature in post-Soviet L'viv: a comparative analysis with the Polish experience". Nationalities Papers: The Journal of Nationalism and Ethnicity. 42 (4): 637–654. Quotes: "Jews ... were erased from official memory of the war subsumed as Soviet citizens, or as Poles" (p. 1); "... commemoration of [Jews and Poles] has been sparse and often problematic since independence" (p. 3); "It is difficult to imagine a memorial to the Jewish victims of the L’viv pogrom of 1941 along the lines of the one erected ... at Jedwabne [Poland]..." (p. 10). Note: the source is dated 2014, but I did a scan and could not locate any new memorials to the victims of the pogrom since then.
