The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of publications on the history of the Jewish Resistance movement in Ukraine and its theoretical understanding.
Methodology. The problem-chronological, historical-comparative and historical-systematic methods, methods of terminization, periodization, actualization, classification, historiographic analysis and synthesis are used.
Scientific novelty consist in the separation of the Jewish Resistance movement in Ukraine as an independent object of study. Periodization of the study of the problem and clarification of terminology is proposed. A conceptual view of the place of the Jewish Resistance in the history of the anti-fascist struggle is presented. The importance of synchronizing the categorical-conceptual apparatus in the study of the Jewish resistance movement in Ukraine, on the one hand, and the resistance movement in Ukraine as a whole, on the other hand, was emphasized. The analysis of the main historiographic stages is carried out, the main centers for studying the problem and the results achieved are identified.
Conclusions. The need to distinguish resistance of the Jews from Jewish resistance is noted. The historiography of the Jewish Resistance movement in Ukraine can be divided into two stages: the first (1945–1991) and the second (since 1992). The necessity of continuing the process of contextualization and conceptualization of the Jewish resistance movement within the framework of all-Ukrainian history is stated. The crucial role of the state in educational policy and the formation of a collective memory of the events of the World War II is emphasized. Further research areas are identified.
