Anna Frank – a History for Today in Kirovograd

The well-known exhibition “Anna Frank – a History for Today” continues its journey around Ukraine. Just now the project has come to an end in Kirovograd – the city with numerous signs of former flamboyant Jewish life. Before the revolution Yelisavetgrad was one of the largest industrial centres within the so-called “boundary of settlement”. That is why the Jewish community had many businessmen, doctors, lawyers, merchants and other wealthy people willing to make the city life comfortable, cozy, and beautiful. The magnificent brick architecture of Kirovograd streets feeds the eye. Buildings of the Jewish hospital, almshouse, and, of course, the synagogue decorate the city. It was on the synagogue premises where the exhibition took place. 17 pupils-guides gave a lot of excursions for over 2000 people – it was a success. The excursions had a lasting effect on visitors.

  • 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.
