Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, escalating the war it had unleashed in 2014. With an avowed goal of de-Ukrainization, Russia rejects the idea of Ukrainian statehood and has declared genocidal goals in Ukraine. The discussion featured Eugene Finkel, a scholar of genocide and author of the forthcoming To Kill Ukraine, and Elissa Bemporad, an expert on anti-Jewish violence in Ukraine. Chair: Natalya Lazar, Director of the Initiative on Ukrainian-Jewish Shared History and the Holocaust in Ukraine, at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This event was hosted in association with: The Center for Jewish Studies at the Graduate Center—CUNY The Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, USHMM
