Interview as a part of the House of Memory project in Chernivtsi
Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine has not only resulted in significant human losses and destruction but has also caused a reassessment of values, a transformation of collective memory, and a revision of society's perspective on past events. One area where approaches and paradigms are already evolving is in the learning and teaching of the history of the Holocaust.
Anatolii Podolskyi, Ph.D., Director of the Ukrainian Centre for Holocaust Studies, shared his insights on this topic, including how the experience of preserving the memory of Holocaust victims can be applied in the context of the current war, as a part of the interactive project House of Memory.
