To offer a broad historical and contemporary portrait of the European city Lviv, John Czaplicka has gathered together a wide range of scholars from the areas of historiography, history, art and architectural history, urban planning, literary history and criticism, and cultural history. Known variously over the centuries as Leopolis, Lwów, Lvov, and Lemberg, this city served as laboratory for the forging of modern Jewish, Polish, and Ukrainian identities. Historically, Armenians, Germans, Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians interacted in this Galician and formerly Polish and Habsburg metropolis. The resulting confluence of cultures in this now Ukrainian city was at times violent, but each of the ethnic groups and religions residing in the city contributed to its urban, urbane, and truly European character. This volume emphasizes the richness of the local cultural heritage.The collection derives from revised papers presented at a conference sponsored jointly by the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies and the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. Other authors were invited to round out the picture of a European city in the shifting crosscurrents of cultures.

The Paradox of Ukrainian Lviv reveals the local and transnational forces behind the twentieth-century transformation of Lviv into a Soviet and Ukrainian urban center. Lviv's twentieth-century history was marked by violence, population changes, and fundamental transformation ethnically, linguistically, and in terms of its residents' self-perception. Against this background, Tarik Cyril Amar explains a striking paradox: Soviet rule, which came to Lviv in ruthless Stalinist shape and lasted for half a century, left behind the most Ukrainian version of the city in history. In reconstructing this dramatically profound change, Amar illuminates the historical background in present-day identities and tensions within Ukraine.

The Night Reporter: A 1938 Lviv Murder Mystery 0.78

In 1990, months before crowds in Moscow and other major cities dismantled their monuments to Lenin, residents of the western Ukrainian city of Lviv toppled theirs. William Jay Risch argues that Soviet politics of empire inadvertently shaped this anti-Soviet city, and that opposition from the periphery as much as from the imperial center was instrumental in unraveling the Soviet Union.Lviv’s borderlands identity was defined by complicated relationships with its Polish neighbor, its imperial Soviet occupier, and the real and imagined West. The city’s intellectuals―working through compromise rather than overt opposition―strained the limits of censorship in order to achieve greater public use of Ukrainian language and literary expression, and challenged state-sanctioned histories with their collective memory of the recent past. Lviv’s post–Stalin-generation youth, to which Risch pays particular attention, forged alternative social spaces where their enthusiasm for high culture, politics, soccer, music, and film could be shared.The Ukrainian West enriches our understanding not only of the Soviet Union’s postwar evolution but also of the role urban spaces, cosmopolitan identities, and border regions play in the development of nations and empires. And it calls into question many of our assumptions about the regional divisions that have characterized politics in Ukraine. Risch shines a bright light on the political, social, and cultural history that turned this once-peripheral city into a Soviet window on the West.

In 1937, a Viennese antiquarian sells a comprehensive lute tablature, which then ends up in Lviv in today's Ukraine. For decades, the tablature is out of reach and subject to wild speculation. Today, it once again reveals European Renaissance masterpieces, presented here on this album. Bernhard Hofsttter's lute playing has been described as "adeptly combining technical ease with a masterful sense of phrasing" (Lute Society of America) and demonstrating "a refined rhythmic sensibility and unders

Entre la memoria familiar y la indagacion historica, un libro excepcional sobre el Holocausto y el juicio de Nuremberg. En las paginas de este libro se entretejen dos hilos: por un lado, el rescate de la historia del abuelo materno del autor a partir de un viaje de este para dar una conferencia en la ciudad de Lviv, que fue polaca y actualmente forma parte de Ucrania. Por el otro, la peripecia de dos abogados judios y un acusado aleman en el juicio de Nuremberg, cuyas vidas tambien confluyen en esa ciudad invadida por los nazis. Los dos judios estudiaron alli y salvaron sus vidas porque emigraron a tiempo, y el acusado fue gobernador durante la ocupacion. Y asi, a partir de las sutiles conexiones entre estos cuatro personajes, emergen la Shoa, la Historia con mayusculas y las historias intimas. Y frente al horror surge la sed de justicia, con la lucha de los dos abogados por introducir en el juicio el concepto de «crimenes contra la humanidad». / A profound and profoundly important book; a moving personal detective story, an uncovering of secret pasts, and a book that explores the creation and development of world-changing legal concepts that came about as a result of the unprecedented atrocities of Hitlers Third Reich.

“Yuri Vynnychuk’s novel Tango of Death is a literary masterpiece about the magic of pre-war Lviv." Dariusz Nowacki in Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland)“In his novel a stormy plot is interwoven with historical enlightenment, sarcastic humor and deep tragedy. ...[T]his spectacular artistic work is undoubtedly worthy of the highest recognition.”Von Ulrich M. Schmid in Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Switzerland)“Experienced readers know that books that capture your imagination from the very first page are rare. Even the most legendary authors succeed in doing this in only a handful of instances. Yuri Vynnychuk with his novel undoubtedly belongs to this elite circle. ...[T]his masterpiece reads like a grand parable.”Joachim Mols from www.bestreaders.de (Germany)“Yuri Vynnychuk is one of the most popular writers of Ukraine. His works are hotly debated and awarded many prizes. It's great that the cult author of Lviv can now cast a spell over German-speaking readers as well.”Yuri Andrukhovych (Ukraine)“...a demanding, exciting and entertaining to read novel despite a tragic story told over lengthy spans of time.”Volker Breidecker in Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany)“...a cleverly composed novel in which Vynnychuk skillfully alternates time and perspectives and tells a moving story about friendship and courage in the face of the utmost brutality.”Karoline Thaler in ORF Kultur (Austria)“...a rich, explosive novel.” Jutta Lindekugel in titel-kulturmagazin.net (Germany)

The Ukrainian city Lviv's many names (Lviv, Lvov, Lwow, Lemberg, Leopolis) bear witness to its conflicted past - it has, at one time or another, belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Poland, Russia and Germany, and has brought forth numerous famous artists and intellectuals. My Lwow, Jozef Wittlin's short 1946 treatise on the city he left in 1922, is a wistful and lyrical study of an electrifying cosmopolis, told from the other side of the catastrophe of the Second World War. Philippe Sand's essay provides a parallel account of the city as it is today: the cultural capital of Ukraine, its citizens played a key role during the Orange Revolution, and its executive committee declared itself independent of the rule of President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014. The City of Lions includes both old black-and-white photos showing Lviv during the first half of the twentieth century, and new photographs by the award-winning Diana Matar, of the city as it is today.

Invité à donner une conférence en Ukraine dans la ville de Lviv, autrefois Lemberg, Philippe Sands, avocat international réputé, découvre une série de coïncidences historiques qui le conduiront de Lemberg à Nuremberg, des secrets de sa famille à l'histoire universelle.C'est à Lemberg que Leon Buchholz, son grand-père, passe son enfance avant de fuir, échappant ainsi à l'Holocauste qui décima sa famille; c'est là que Hersch Lauterpacht et Raphael Lemkin, deux juristes juifs qui jouèrent un rôle déterminant lors du procès de Nuremberg et auxquels nous devons les concepts de « crime contre l'humanité » et de « génocide », étudient le droit dans l'entre-deux-guerres. C'est là enfin que Hans Frank, haut dignitaire nazi, annonce, en 1942, alors qu'il est Gouverneur général de Pologne, la mise en place de la « Solution finale » qui condamna à la mort des millions de Juifs. Parmi eux, les familles Lauterpacht, Lemkin et Buchholz.Philippe Sands transcende les genres dans cet extraordinaire témoignage où s'entrecroisent enquête palpitante et méditation profonde sur le pouvoir de la mémoire.
