DANYLIW RESEARCH SEMINAR ON CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE

In the Maelstrom:
The Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division and Its Legacy

An estimated 25,000 Ukrainians served in the Fourteenth Waffen-SS “Galicia” Division. Conflicting accounts of their reasons for enlistment and continuing accusations of wartime criminality have fuelled controversial debate for decades. The book is the first comprehensive study of the division to address both its wartime experience and its postwar fate, drawing on archival research that includes interrogation records, interviews, memoirs, testimonies,and creative literature.

Myroslav Shkandrij is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Manitoba.
