Zhabotinsky V. - Works. - Odessa, 2001. - V.1, 2.
Vladimir (Zeev) Zhabotinsky published his two-volume edition of publicistic and literary works. For a long time Zhabotinsky was called a Zionist in our country. All his literary heritage was consigned to oblivion. His novel "Five" - one of the best works about Odessa - suffered the same fate. For the first time the book was published in Paris in the 1930s, and today this book at last saw the world in the author's native land.

The collection of articles was published by the Dnepropetrovsk center "Tkuma".
The German army occupied Artemovsk on October 31, 1941. On January 7, 1942 announcements, obliging Jews to gather in the former railway NKVD, were pasted all around the city. On the night of January 11 some of the people were taken to sand pits in mobile gas chambers, others were immured alive in alabaster quarries. More than three thousand Jews were then executed. Some of the Jews were sheltered by Artemovsk citizens. Those heroes are all named in the book.

Jews of Nezhyn. - Nezhyn: Series "Nezhyn Antiquity", 2001. - 180 p.
The book contains materials about the development of Jewish education of Nezhyn from 1861 to 1917, a Jewish public school, the role of Jews in the revolutionary movement, the "Beilis' case", pogroms, and the Nazi genocide in the city.
The originality of the book is not so much in the unification of materials about Judaism, history, famous Jews, as the fact that it was edited jointly by Jewish organizations and "Prosvita". Unfortunately, its Kiev, Kharkov and Chernigov departments at times display xenophobia. The Nezhyn Shevchenko Association of Ukrainian Language can undoubtedly be an example for "Prosvita" departments in reaching interethnic consent in Ukraine.
