UCHS introduces a new section in the social network
The Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies is introducing a new section #PhotoHistory (#ІсторіяФото) on its official Facebook page, and the first thing we want to do is share a memory from the Robert Kuwalek Research and Education Seminar held last autumn.
This photo was taken in Lviv after the first two days of classes, workshops, and excursions and before visiting the sites in Lublin and Bełżec. It reflects the moment of inspiration of a cohesive group, when all participants took the first steps of studying, workshops, excursions, and are ready for the challenges of visiting memorial sites in Poland.
🗯 Are there any participants of this project among our followers? Do you have a special photo from this seminar? What do you remember the most? Write in the comments!
The project was resumed in 2023, despite all the challenges, thanks to our partners - the Brama Hrodska-Theatre NN branch and with the financial support of the Claims Conference and the American Jewish Committee!

Presentation of the project "Bykivnia, Babyn Yar, Bucha - Between the massacre and memory about it".
Today, it is important not only to compare the crimes of the three dictatorial regimes, but also to explain their nature, under what circumstances there is a real possibility of mass murder and its justification. This project shows that it is possible and worthwhile to compare the two totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century without diminishing the memory of either of them, and that it is also worth analysing Ruscism in the context of communism and Nazism.
