The traveling exhibition "Holocaust and Memory" was launched at the Khmelnytskyi Regional Library for Youth. This cultural and educational institution recently joined the social partnership agreement with the Hesed Besht Foundation and other participants in the social network. However, warm relations had existed for a long time, so the event dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust and timed to the Great Victory was held together.
The meeting was attended by students of the PO-14 group of the Khmelnytsky Humanitarian and Pedagogical Academy (primary education with in-depth study of physical education and a foreign language). Thanks to the leader, this group has developed a tradition of wearing embroidered shirts to important events or visits to cultural places. Therefore, today everyone came to the library in national embroidered shirts.
The event was opened by library employee Kovalchuk Tetyana Dmytrivna, who introduced the students to the essence of the meeting and introduced the Information Manager of the Hesed Besht KhBF Vyacheslav Nagnybida, who conducted a lesson using the traveling exhibition of the Holocaust Memorial Museum and a thematic video. The lecture concerned the Holocaust in the Khmelnytskyi region and revealed the issues of the prerequisites of the Holocaust as a phenomenon, the course of tragic events and the exploits of the Righteous Among the Nations. The video that was shown to the students was provided to our Foundation by the Tkuma Holocaust Studies Center, Dnipropetrovsk.
It is nice to note the attention with which students, our younger generation, treated the topic of mass murders and terror during the fascist occupation. And when the students had the opportunity to view the stands dedicated to the Righteous Among the Nations, some found there the names of people who live with them in the same settlement in the Khmelnytskyi region.
We hope that social partnership will lead to even more fruitful cooperation, and educational work will contribute to the instillation of tolerance, which will make phenomena such as the Holocaust impossible in the future.
