Studies and academic activities

From 1999 to 2005 Rossoliński-Liebe studied cultural sciences with a focus on Eastern European history and cultural history at the European University Viadrina . He wrote his doctoral thesis on Stepan Bandera and his political cult at the University of Alberta and at the University of Hamburg and defended it in 2012 at the University of Hamburg. He worked as a research assistant at the Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies . 2012–2014 he worked at the Friedrich Meinecke Institute of the Free University of Berlin in a postdoc project on the memory of the Ukrainian diaspora of the Holocaust . He published the first scientific biography of Stepan Bandera, which also deals in depth with the political myth and cult of the Ukrainian fascist politician and the history of his movement. Omer Bartov , Susanne Heim , Antony Polonsky , John-Paul Himka, Mark von Hagen and Arnd Bauerkämper highlighted the various strong points of the very thoroughly researched monograph that demystifies the personality cult . Between 2014 and 2018, Rossoliński-Liebe explored German-Polish collaboration during World War II. During this time he was a Saul Kagan Fellow of the Claims Conference and a fellow of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum , the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation , the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah , the German Historical Institute Warsaw and the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem . Since 2018 he has been investigating the behavior of Polish mayors during World War II as part of a research project funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation .

Political reaction and protests

As part of an academic program that had the task of presenting the new research on Ukrainian history in the Ukraine, the Heinrich Böll Foundation , the German Academic Exchange Service and the German Embassy in Kiev Rossoliński-Liebe planned six lectures on Stepan Bandera and to invite the mass violence of the OUN and UPA in Lviv , Dnepropetrovsk and Kiev . Of the lectures planned for February and March 2012, however, rooms could only be found for two events in Dnepropetrovsk and two in Kiev. Three of them were sometimes canceled a few hours before the start of the event. In the end, only one event took place in the building of the German embassy in Kiev under the protection of the police. Around 100 people demonstrated in front of the building, including members of the right-wing extremist and populist Svoboda party. They tried to convince a few hundred interested visitors, including many students and scientists, not to attend the lecture. The demonstrators claimed that Rossoliński-Liebe was the grandson of Joseph Goebbels and a “liberal fascist from Berlin”. In response to these events, 97 people, including Etienne François , Alexandr Kruglov, Gertrud Pickhan , Susanne Heim , Alexander Wöll , Dovid Katz, Delphine Bechtel, Per Anders Rudling and Mark von Hagen signed the petition “For Freedom of Speech and Expression in Ukraine” .
