The monograph reveals the development of Hasidism at the present stage, the historical fate of Krymchaks, the peculiarities of the complex memorialization of Babyn Yar, the relationship between Jewish communities in European Union countries and national governments, the possibility of borrowing this experience and applying it in Ukrainian realities and others.
