John-Paul Himka - Ukrainian Nationalists and the Holocaust

102Himka, “ Krakivski visti and the Jews.” Himka, “Ethnicity and the Reporting of Mass Murder.”

103Kogon was a Christian who opposed the Nazis and paid for this with six years in Buchenwald. After the war he wrote the first major analysis of the concentration camp system, Der SS Staat (1946), published in English as The Theory and Practice of Hell .

105The last major review of the metropolitan’s thoughts and actions during the Holocaust was my own: Himka, “Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky and the Holocaust.”

106“Ukraintsi i zhydy.”

117There is a document from 1938 in which Stetsko added in his own hand the words “ Pryntsypy ukrains’koi propahandy .” Reproduced in Carynnyk, “‘A Knife in the Back,’“ 7 (point 8a). This document has extensive additions in Stetsko’s handwriting, and they can be compared to the handwritten additions in the small photoreproduction of a passage from the autobiography in Berkhoff and Carynnyk, “The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists,” 153. To me the handwriting and method of making insertions look the same, but I am not a specialist in analyzing handwriting and I have seen too little of the original of the Ukrainian autobiography. Stetsko’s widow, Slava Stetsko, shown a copy of the autobiography by Zhanna Kovba, denied that it was her late husband’s writing. Kovba, Liudianist’ u bezodni pekla , 225.

118On a more abstruse point, Hunczak was exercised about the typewriter, which at first he thought had no g (some Ukrainian keyboards lack them), but then he found examples of g in the autobiography. Thus, he argued, there was no reason for a Western Ukrainian not to be using a g where expected in the ortho-graphy and in the transcription of foreign words and place names. But I myself have used different Ukrainian keyboards, and more than once it has taken me a long time to discover whether the keyboard had a g as well as an h , since the placement of g on the keyboard was not and still has not been standardized. Stetsko was using an unfamiliar typewriter in Berlin and may not have found the g until near the end of his typescript, where the g ’s in fact appear.

121The pro-OUN historian Volodymyr Kosyk also accepted the autobiography as genuine. See Berkhoff, “A Power Terrible for Its Opponents,” 199 n. 10.

122Only three pages of The Book of Facts ( Knyha faktiv ) were made public at that time. But the whole 60-page text is available on line http://avr.org.ua/index.php/viewDoc/3188/(accessed 10 December 2018).
