Post-project meeting of the Museums: Rethinking

insidethegatesAt the end of 2023, UCHS, with the support of the Stabilisation Fund for Culture and Education 2023 of the German Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut, completed the project Museums: Rethinking. The project was aimed to support local Ukrainian museums and cultural institutions, encourage their networking and communication with each other, and brought together participants from 16 cultural institutions from all over the country.

Together, we searched for ways to help cultural institutions rethink or create their own exhibitions or cultural events to highlight the history of the Holocaust and World War II in the context of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine. And we succeeded.

A few months after the official end of the project, we decided to gather the participants online once again to share our achievements, assess the impact of the project on our own institutions and their visitors, talk about future plans and new ideas that have arisen as a result of participating in the project, and think of new ways of cooperation and mutual assistance.

It is important to note that some time after the project was completed, the participants highly appreciated the opportunities they had received. Despite the tight deadlines and very intensive work, the project, according to colleagues, started a long journey of change in their cultural institutions: one idea led to others, they managed to test new approaches to creating exhibitions, attract new visitors and even co-authors of tours, and implement new formats of communication with the audience. The project has left behind solid results and numerous prospects. The main thing is that as a result of active cooperation and mutual visits, we managed to build a close team and establish a tradition of mutual support that will continue in the future.

  • The banality of evil: from Auschwitz to Mariupol

    The YouTube channel "10 Questions to a Historian" featured an interview about the history of the Auschwitz death camp, which has become an undisputed symbol of Nazi crimes in World War II. This is the story of how some people (including educated and seemingly mentally healthy people) killed other people on a scale and systematic basis that had never been seen before. The "banality of evil" was that the virtue of loyalty turned bureaucrats into committed genocide performers.
