Exodus-2022: Testimonies of Jewish Refugees from the Russo-Ukrainian War
The Kyiv City Jewish Community with the support of the German Foundation EVZ and other partners invites you to become participants in the Exodus-2022 project.
For the first time since World War II and the establishment of the State of Israel, tens of thousands of Jewish refugees emerged in the world. For some of them, this is their second evacuation - the first was in 1941 from the Nazis, the second in spring 2022 from the russians. The project offers a series of video meetings with these two-time refugees and Holocaust survivors, ready to share their extraordinary stories from two eras.
In front of your eyes, the "Jewish" chronicle of the Russo-Ukrainian war will be created, about which books and scientific monographs will be written years later. But all this will happen later, and today you will feel the living breath of history - such moments worth a lot. After the hero's speech, you will be able to ask questions and discuss the consequences of "denazification" for the Jewish community of Ukraine.
The first Zoom is planned to be dedicated to the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Date: January 29, 2023
Time: 17:00 (Ukraine and Israel Time Zone / GMT+2) / 16:00 (Europe / CET) / 10:00 (New York, USA / GMT-5).
If you would like to participate in the video conference, please fill out the form on the website: https://exodus-2022.org/ua
