The repression of Holocaust memory in post-Soviet Ukraine and the protracted lack of access to regional archives caused the demand to study the Holocaust literature which is underrepresented in Ukraine. The project examines literary representations of the Holocaust, the issues of traumatic experience and self-identification of Holocaust survivors which find their aftermath in WWII narratives of the Holocaust in Ukraine. The current research aims to contribute to Holocaust survivors’ writing and to the narrative strategies the Holocaust writers employ in portraying Ukraine and Ukrainians during World War II. The use of the biographical approach and comparative method tend to differentiate between the fictional and the factual in their (semi)autobiographical writing. The literary legacy of the writers, who survived the Holocaust in eastern Galicia, is a poignant and significant aspect of Holocaust literature. Ida Fink, Alicia Appleman-Jurman, Aharon Appelfeld, Anita Ekstein and others have contributed to this body of work, each offering unique perspectives and narratives. Their experiences and connections to different regions of present-day Ukraine namely Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernivtsi have influenced immensely their literary writing and determined their literary success. These author belonged to the first generation of Holocaust survivors, whose works were written from memory, and the mass genocide of Jewish people on Ukrainian territories during World War II was a personal traumatic experience for them. Through their literary contributions the writers bear witness to the atrocities of the Holocaust and ensure that the stories of those who suffered and survived are preserved for future generations. Their works offer the readers insights into the human condition, resilience, and the enduring impact of the trauma of the Holocaust.
