This is an automatically translated description

The publication presents information about the so-called "occupation fonds" of the state archives of Ukraine for the first time. For more than half a century, this powerful documentary array has been largely classified and inaccessible to researchers. Therefore, its publication will serve to expand the source base of research on the history of the Second World War on Ukrainian lands, open up new opportunities for a deeper and more detailed study of Nazi occupation policy and all spheres of life in the occupied territory. The updated information will help to reveal little-known pages of the history of Ukraine in 1941-1944. In the context of the human tragedy of the most brutal of world wars, which is also important in terms of international cooperation in the humanitarian sphere, it will help protect the social interests and dignity of the victims of the National Socialist regime, prevent the threat of totalitarianism, and spread mutual understanding between the peoples of the world.

The publication will also show the faces of war and occupation (struggle, life, ruins, the Holocaust) in photographic documents, and will feature reflections by contemporary historians on this topic.

The book will be useful not only for historians, students, postgraduates, and teachers of humanities institutions, but also for anyone who is not indifferent to the past and future of Ukraine.
