Prayer For a Zealous Person
My prayer for Mykhalylo Tyaglyy* in his tasks as researcher, writer, and editor:
Desirous to serve God, work toward His kingdom advancement-height
Be useful for His glory, with cooperative, humble, joyful disposition-light
Contribute your necessary part, being a blessing by faith-might.
1Corinthians 12:22 …Much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary.
*Mykhaylo Tyaglyy has been working for the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies doing research on the National Socialist genocide of Roma in Ukraine. He is also managing editor of the scholarly journal Holocaust and Modernity: Studies in Ukraine and the World published by the UCHS. In 2011-2019, he was part of the international project “Protecting Memory” aiming at transforming the neglected and forgotten mass graves of Jews and Roma into dignified places of remembrance. Mykhaylo is also an expert in Ukraine for the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure and for the USHMM’s Archival Acquisitions program, as well as for Yad Vashem’s “Untold Stories” project. In 2005 he authored the book Sites of Mass Murder of Crimean Jews during the Nazi Occupation of the Peninsula, 1941–1944.
