    Ukrainian Jewish Encounter Timeline wins international recognition while countering Russian propaganda

    Ukrainians and Jews have lived as neighbours for centuries, creating and sharing enduring cultures that continue to inform their identities today. Ukrainian Jewish Encounter (UJE) is proud to present Part 1 of an integrated narrative of these two peoples in the belief that there is much to be gained by viewing their historical experience together, in all its complexity.

    Explore the UJE Timeline

    As Ukraine defends its very existence against Russia, the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter Timeline serves to counter the malicious and false narratives about Ukraine and its history. The Timeline demonstrates that Ukraine is home to diverse peoples and, for centuries, one of the world’s oldest and largest Jewish communities.

    Since its launch in September 2022, the UJE Timeline has earned international recognition by winning eight international awards:

    Web Excellence Awards:

    • Excellence — Website Non-profit (2023)

    w3 Awards:

    • Silver — Website Non-profit (2023)
    • Silver — Website Best Structure and Navigation (2023)
    • Silver— Website Best Visual Appeal and Aesthetics (2023)

    Anthem Awards:

    • Bronze — Website Digital and Innovative Experiences (2024)

    Communicator Awards:

    • Gold — Website Non-Profit (2024)
    • Silver — Website Structure and Navigation (2024)
    • Silver — Website Visual Appeal and Aesthetics (2024).

     

    Encounter: The Ukrainian-Jewish Literary Prize  

    The 'Encounter' prize aims to build on the common experiences of Ukrainians and Jews over the centuries, expressed in literature and nonfiction. The Prize will be awarded annually to the most influential work in literature and nonfiction (in alternate years) that fosters Ukrainian-Jewish understanding, helping solidify Ukraine's place as a multi-ethnic society and giving truth to the motto, "Our stories are incomplete without each other."

    A Journey Through the Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter

    FROM ANTIQUITY TO 1914

    The goal of the richly illustrated catalogue is to present an integrated narrative that looks at the experience of these two peoples together, in all its complexity — through periods of crisis, as well as long stretches of normal co-existence and multifaceted cultural interaction from antiquity to 1914.
