Israeli Settler Colonial Genocide
Jews and Roma in the Carpathian Region and Southern Slovakia
The article uncovers the traces of relations between Roma and Jews in the Carpathian region and southern Slovakia during the 1920s and 1930s, when those regions belonged to Czechoslovakia, and under Hungarian rule from late 1938 until the arrival of Soviet forces in the Carpathian region in October 1944 and in southern Slovakia in March 1945. We examine the blurring of these relations in testimonies of Jews from the Carpathian region held in the …

Settler Antisemitism, Israeli Mass Violence, and the Crisis of Holocaust and Genocide Studies
This article examines the depiction of Israel as a nation-state like any other as a mechanism of disavowing Israeli settler colonialism. It is a depiction that also brings into focus the antisemitic marginalization and violence against Jews in nation-states. In this framework, the article shows that since modern antisemitism emerged at the intersection of the nation-state system and European imperialism and colonialism, Israel as a settler nation…
Gaza as Twilight of Israel Exceptionalism
In April 2022, Holocaust scholar Eugene Finkel wrote in the Washington Post, “What’s happening in Ukraine is genocide. Period.”1 Finkel argued that, following Ukrainian determination in resisting t

K iril F eferman . The Holocaust in the Crimea and the North Caucasus
Very little research focuses on the destruction of Jews and Jewish communities in the Crimea and the North Caucasus under German occupation during World War II. Kiril Feferman has made an attempt to fill this void. Based on an impressive amount of primary sources written in a number of languages and scattered in archives from Washington, D.C., to Jerusalem, to Crimea, to Moscow, The Holocaust in the Crimea and the North Caucasus constructs a deta…
The Modern State, the Question of Genocide, and Holocaust Scholarship
This review article asks: what defines mass violence in the twentieth century as particularly modern and how does the Holocaust figure in this history? The article compares the work of two path-breaking historians—Mark Levene and Timothy Snyder—while also discussing recent research by other scholars. It argues that the emergence of nation-states, together with technology and scientific knowledge to alter the environment, created the conditions fo…
Israel Charny’s Attack on the Journal of Genocide Research and its Authors
Israel Charny has published an article, “Holocaust Minimization, Anti-Israel Themes, and Antisemitism: Bias at the Journal of Genocide Research” (JGR) in the Journal for the Study of Antisemitism. His specific allegations are bundled together in a single sentence: “minimization of the Holocaust, delegitimization of the State of Israel, and repeat[ing] common themes of contemporary antisemitism”. We write as the authors of articles and contributor…
Imported Violence
Beyond Holocaust Studies
This article argues that the ideological and emotional meanings of the terms ‘Holocaust’ and ‘antisemitism’ have obstructed their use as analytical concepts in Holocaust scholarship. It claims, specifically, that they frame the persecution and annihilation of Jews during World War II as unique, placing these events and processes apart from essential historical and political contexts. The destruction of Jews in wartime Hungary underscores how hist…
Becoming Bystanders
This article addresses the deterioration of relations in Subcarpathian Rus’ between Jews and Carpatho-Ruthenians (the majority population in the region) in the interwar period and during the Holocaust. It presents an analysis of a range of archival material and survivors’ accounts through psychological and social psychological theories, mainly the ‘narcissism of minor differences’, in order to understand why and how Carpatho-Ruthenians assumed th…
