On the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism of European Jewry (Yom HaShoah), Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” together with the Hesed Menachem Foundation held another online meeting within the framework of the "Jewish Heritage" project.

The open lecture, conducted by Museum researcher Dilfuza Hlushchenko, was dedicated to honoring the six million victims of the Holocaust and the heroes of the Jewish resistance movement. Yom HaShoah is celebrated in Israel on Nisan 27 (this year it falls on April 13). The date is symbolically associated with the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest known act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust.

The central figure of the lecture was Emanuel Ringelblum – a native of Buchach, historian, founder and ideological inspirer of the underground archive “Oneg Shabat”, a key figure in preserving the memory of the Holocaust. Ringelblum’s connection with the Warsaw Ghetto was fundamental: he did not just survive in the ghetto but led a large-scale operation to document Jewish life under Nazi occupation. Thanks to Ringelblum’s archive, the world learned the truth about the mass murders of Jews, about the Treblinka death camp.

The participants of the meeting honored the memory of the deceased with a minute of silence.
