About this journal The Editorial and Advisory Board of the East European Holocaust Studies condemns Russia’s military assault on Ukraine and President Putin’s use of historical distortions and cynical lies to justify Russia’s attack on Ukrainian sovereignty. We stand with all the people of Ukraine and Russia who oppose this war. Eastern European Holocaust Studies: Interdisciplinary Journal of the BYHMC provides an outlet for researchers dealing with the history of the Holocaust and the Second World War in Central and Eastern Europe – and as such, aims to contribute to the incorporation of both the modern and contemporary history of this territory and the topic of the aftermath of the war into the international academic scene. While research on conflict and genocide in Eastern Europe has become increasingly prevalent, only a handful of scholars have dealt with post-war issues connected to the Holocaust and the war, therefore the editorial team aims at inspiring new investigations and publications on these topics. Eastern European Holocaust Studies: Interdisciplinary Journal of the BYHMC is a peer-reviewed bi-annual multidisciplinary scholarly journal, which aims to be a major international forum for publishing theoretically sophisticated, and empirically grounded original research in the intersection of media studies, memory studies, gender studies, historical and sociological research, literary science, as well as war studies and Holocaust and Genocide Research, and so forth. Submissions should be original contributions and not under simultaneous consideration for other publications. The editors will preferably pick the proposals of prospective authors who use an interdisciplinary approach. All articles undergo a double-blind peer review process with at least two external reviewers. EEHS hosts Dossiers (Special Clusters) in every issue. The proposals for the Dossiers are submitted to the Editorial Board and discussed together with the credentials of the guest editor during the monthly meeting. The long-term plan of the Dossiers is also approved by the Advisory Board during the half-annual meetings. The papers submitted to the Dossiers are going through external double peer review coordinated by the guest editors together with the Editor in Chief. East European Holocaust Studies is the academic journal of the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center. It is governed by an independent editorial board that acts with the counsel of an independent academic advisory b
