The article is aimed at researching the modern historiography of the Jewish contribution to the victory over nazism during the Great Patriotic War. The author has studied historiography over 1941-2016. By using the method of analysis, as well as the method of comparison, the author traces the dynamics of development of historiography and identifies the main its directions. To obtain a more complete understanding of the contribution of researchers to the development of historiography, the author analyzes published sources, particularly memoirs. In the result, the author concludes that despite the abundance of publications, this problem almost has not been studied from the scientific point of view. The weak link in exploring the role of jews in the struggle against nazism is a small number of publications written by professional historians. Another major disadvantage of historiography is the rare use of archival documents and published sources. The research materials can be used when writing monographic dissertations and scientific articles on the history of struggle of the jews against nazism.
