The exhibition, titled “A Ukrainian-Jewish century: Pictures and stories from 1920 to 2025,” has opened at the National Historical and Memorial Preserve “Babyn Yar” in cooperation with Centropa, the Embassy of the State of Israel in Ukraine, and the Israeli Cultural Center Nativ in Kyiv. The exhibition is dedicated to Yom HaShoah — the Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism.

The exhibition was presented on April 13 at the “Living Memory” exhibition center. It is based on a unique archive of oral histories from 264 individuals from different cities across Ukraine. Among them are witnesses and participants of the major events of the 20th century, including those who survived the Holocaust, the Holodomor, and wartime evacuation during the Second World War.

A separate section of the exhibition is devoted to Jewish writers connected to Ukraine — from Nobel Prize laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon, who was born in Buchach, to contemporary author Katya Petrovska.

As part of the event, the animated film “Letter to a Pig” by director Tal Kantor, which was nominated for an Academy Award, was also screened.
