Partner museums host our exhibitions

27 November 2024

On the occasion of Holodomor Remembrance Day, our museum’s exhibitions opened in partner institutions across several regions of Ukraine.

Thus, on November 22, the Vinnytsia Regional Museum of Local Lore opened the exhibition “Holodomor: Soviet Genocide of Ukrainians”. “Vinnytsia, like the whole of Ukraine in 1932-1933, suffered enormous losses. Entire families died out, streets and villages disappeared from the map, an irreparable blow was dealt to mentality and culture, the connection between generations was broken, and the principal human right – the right to life – was destroyed! – says the official Facebook page of the museum. – At a time when the Russian Federation is again committing the crime of genocide, making another attempt to subjugate the Ukrainian people, researching the history of the Holodomor genocide and spreading the truth is more crucial than ever. Only together will we be able to reconstruct history, learn and tell the truth in order to protect our future from repeating the past crime.” The exhibition will run until December 22.

The exhibition “Holodomor: Soviet Genocide of Ukrainians” also opened on November 22 at the Odesa Museum of History and Local Lore. The opening of the exhibition spoke:
Yaroslava Riznikova, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Nationalities, Religions and Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Odesa Regional State Administration;
Natalia Dzyubenko-Mace, writer, publicist, member of the National Writers’ Union of Ukraine and the Council of the All-Ukrainian Association of Researchers of the Holodomor-Genocide of Ukraine;
Uliana Hromovych, Chief Specialist of the First Interregional Territorial Department of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance;
Mykola Storozhuk, representative of the NGO “Veterans HUB Odesa”, Taras Honcharuk, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Lecturer at the Faculty of History and Philosophy of the Odesa Mechnikov National University. The participants of the event were Serhii Veherchuk, director of Odessa Lyceum No. 2, students of the Odessa Naval Lyceum, museum employees, and representatives of the local history community,” the museum’s Facebook page states.

The exhibitions “The Uncondemned Genocide of Ukrainians Repeats” and “Holodomor: Soviet Genocides of Ukrainians” opened at the Novovolynsk Historical Museum on November 23. “Over 90 years ago, Ukraine experienced one of the most tragic pages in its history — the Holodomor. Then Russia tried to destroy Ukrainianness itself, our way of life and the meaning of the existence of an entire people. However, the criminal regime was not punished, which turned it into the ground for a new wave of Russian genocide against Ukrainians,” the museum’s Facebook page states. “The exhibition narrates unpunished evil that has returned today to complete what started nearly a hundred years ago. It is about the history of destructive Ukrainian-Russian relations and tells about their causes, consequences and ways to finally defeat this evil.”
