Kiev at war (1937-1947). An integrated study on tyranny, occupation and the persecution of Jews

由于Covid疫情和俄罗斯对乌克兰的大规模入侵，我的项目的处理严重受阻，这意味着我需要更多的时间来完成它。然而，由于防寒措施的解除和基辅战争局势的稳定，该项目的成功完成是有保证的，这就是为什么该项目的目标可以保持。以基辅为例，我描述和分析了1937年至1947年期间--即从大恐怖到苏维埃政权恢复期间--一座苏联大城市犹太人和非犹太人的生活和死亡，并询问斯大林式的大规模恐怖、德国的战争罪行和苏联镇压的恢复如何改变了这座城市作为一个物质和社会场所。时间顺序或平行关系不一定被解释为因果联系，但它表明了事件被感知的背景。其目的是一本400至500页的专著，从多个角度描述基辅居民的日常生活及其社会环境，并分析个人对这些年的看法和经历。通过这样做，我也想实现一种新的城市历史形式。这不仅仅是关于制度和各自的尺子，而是关于社会和人们活动的空间发生了怎样的变化。为了考察这些人对剧变的反应，因此将追踪来自不同演员群体的大约12个具体的生活故事。通过这种方式，个人的行动范围以及调查期间以外的这种影响将以示范的方式变成有形的。因此，该项目也符合大屠杀研究中心的研究重点“大屠杀和欧洲社会”。

Due to the Covid pandemic and the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the processing of my project has been severely hampered, which means that I need more time to complete it. However, due to the lifting of the anti-Covid measures and the stabilisation of the war situation in Kiev itself, the successful completion of the project is guaranteed, which is why the objectives of the project can be maintained.Using Kiev as an example, I describe and analyse the lives and deaths of Jews and non-Jews in a major Soviet city between 1937 and 1947 - i.e. between the "Great Terror" and the conclusion of the restoration of Soviet power - and ask how Stalinist mass terror, German war crimes and the resumption of Soviet repression changed the city as a physical and social place. A chronological sequence or parallelism should not necessarily be interpreted as a causal connection, but it shows the background against which the events were perceived. The aim is a monograph of 400 to 500 pages, a multi-perspective account of the everyday life of the inhabitants of Kiev and their social environment as well as an analysis of individual perceptions and experiences of those years. In doing so, I also want to realise a new form of city history. It will not be solely about institutions and the respective rulers, but about how society and the space in which people moved changed. In order to examine how these people reacted to the upheavals, around a dozen concrete life stories from different groups of actors will therefore be traced. In this way, individual scope for action as well as such influences that lie beyond the period under investigation are to become tangible in an examplary way. The project thus also fits into the research focus "The Holocaust and European societies" of the Centre for Holocaust Studies.
