Lili Jacob's Homeland

A new article by Csilla Fedinec was published.

Fedinec Csilla: Jacob Lili hazája. HURBÁN 2024/2 pp. 46-60. 

As Oren Baruch Stier puts it, Holocaust icons distill historical events and memories into easily understood symbols. Such icons are Anne Frank or Lili Jacob (Lili Meier). Lili Jacob was transported from the Berehovo ghetto to Birkenau and, during the SS evacuation, to the Dora Mittelbau camp, where she found the photo album of her extended family, the Jews of Bilke. The world-famous Auschwitz Album was first published as a book in New York in 1981. In this research I use contemporary press publications, archival documents and family papers in private collections to present the main characteristics of the Jewish population of Transcarpathia in historical perspective, the immediate consequences of the territorial revision and, based on this, the ghetto period in the region.

The Russian–Ukrainian war in Ukrainian legislation

An article by Csilla Fedinec was published:

The Russian–Ukrainian war in Ukrainian legislation from 2014 to early 2024. FORUM SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW XXVI : 5 pp. 99-120. (2024) https://doi.org/10.61795/fssr.v26y2024i5.06

Russia’s deliberate armed aggression against Ukraine began in February 2014 with the seizure of part of Ukraine’s territory, the Crimean Peninsula, and then the provocation of war in Donbas. On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, territorial defense forces, and Ukrainian civilians thwarted the Kremlin’s plans for a “blitzkrieg.” The study presents some aspects of Ukrainian legislation related to Russia’s war against Ukraine since 2014.
