The Wosk Publishing Program was established as an Endowment Fund by Morris J. Wosk and Yosef Wosk in 1999. The goal of the program is to publish books which contribute to a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and its impact on society. The program hopes to publish a book approximately every two years. Proceeds from the sale of these published works are returned to the endowment fund to support future publishing projects.

Manuscript Submission

The VHEC will consider manuscripts on topics such as: survivor memoirs, Holocaust fiction and non-fiction, Holocaust education and curricula, VHEC conference proceedings and VHEC exhibit catalogues. Only completed manuscripts will be considered.

Priority will be given to submissions from Canada, and in particular, from British Columbia. Manuscripts must be in English and no more than 500 pages in length. Manuscripts, which require considerable editorial work to bring them up to current publishing standards, may not be considered.

An independent editorial board reviews all manuscripts received within a year. Submission deadline is April 30th of every year

The selection is based on the following criteria:

Fulfills the mandate of the publishing program.
Contributes to our understanding of the Holocaust and its implications for society.
