WORKS IN PROGRESS
Articles
At present my research continues to focus on the region of East Central Europe, with a particular
focus on the region of Galicia, present day Western Ukraine. I am particularly interested in the
murder of the Jews of Galicia during the Second World War. I am currently writing an article on
the importance of local collaboration in the implementation of the Holocaust, focusing in particular
on the various ways whereby this collaboration manifested itself and what factors motivated the
collaboration of the local non-Jewish population in the murder of the region’s Jews by the Germans.
