About the Holodomor museum
Our Mission
Consolidating Ukrainian Society Through Remembrance of the Past
We are transforming the Museum into a leading institution for researching the Holodomor-Genocide, one that responds to society’s current needs. Our main priorities are promoting human rights, preventing the recurrence of crimes against humanity, and countering ruscist ideology using facts.
Strategic objectives
-
Documenting and Researching Traumatic Experience
The Museum aims to create a research platform for discussing the historical events of the Holodomor-genocide in the context of contemporary social experience. It is building an archive of memory through oral history and historical studies, while developing its own collections.
-
Disseminating Accurate, Research-Based Information
By establishing a permanent multimedia exhibition, temporary exhibits, educational practices, and popular science content for distribution through various communication channels in Ukraine and internationally.
-
Preserving the Memory of the Holodomor-Genocide
By developing a symbolic memorial space around the Hall of Memory, creating meaningful commemorative practices, engaging with local communities across Ukraine, and initiating international partnerships.
As long as Ukraine retains its national unity, as long as its people continue to think of themselves as Ukrainians and to seek independence, so long Ukraine poses a serious threat to the very heart of Sovietism.
