On January 27, all progressive humanity celebrates the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, established by the decision of the UN General Assembly on November 1, 2005. It was on this day that the prisoners of the largest Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, in Auschwitz were liberated.
During World War II, in the German-occupied territories, any help to Jews was punishable by death. Despite this, there were those who dared to help, risking their own lives. This is confirmed by the list of people awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal. This list also includes the name of the Polish woman Irena Sendlerova.
We talked about the heroic Polish woman and hundreds of Ukrainians who saved entire Jewish families - people with huge hearts, as well as about the terrible events of the Second World War, which went down in history under the name of the Holocaust, with the little ones - students of the third grade of Yarmolyntsi NVK No. 1. The children's awareness and their perception of rather difficult information were impressive. Here, a lot of preparatory work carried out by teacher Yulia Stanislavivna Khoptyar was felt. The Memory Lesson was attended by the head teacher of the younger grades Krulyk Tsezaria Viktorivna and the historian by profession, head teacher of the senior grades Fedorovych Larisa Mykolaivna, who shared her memories of Yarmolyntsi in those days when the town could still be called Jewish.
Our story, the traveling exhibition and the viewing of the video film were extremely impressive to the young listeners. It is the young generation after us that will remain the bearer of the true memory of the tragedy of the Holocaust. And we must talk about it. So that such catastrophes will never be repeated with any people.
We remember. We remember.
