Babyn Yar: Reflection. Exhibition of student works

insidethegatesFrom September 26 to October 3, 2023, an exhibition of student works dedicated to the anniversary of the Babyn Yar tragedy "Babyn Yar: Reflection" was held at the Kyiv Profesional College of Computer Technology and Economics of the National Aviation University. 
The Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies provided support for the opening of the exhibition.

September 29 is the Memorial Day of the Babyn Yar tragedy.
Babyn Yar is a place of remembrance and a necropolis for about 100,000 civilians and prisoners of war shot by Nazis in 1941-1943. Among them were Kyiv Jews, as well as Roma, Red Army soldiers, communists, OUN underground members, prisoners of the Syrets concentration camp, "saboteurs," curfew violators, and even patients of the Pavlov Psychiatric Hospital. The mass shooting of Jews in Babyn Yar on September 29-30, 1941, became a symbol of the "Holocaust by Bullets" and the Nazi policy of mass murder.

The grand opening of the exhibition took place on September 26, 2023. The event was attended by teachers and students of the NAU College and the Kyiv Professional College of Maritime and River Fleet of the State University of Infrastructure and Technology, as well as with the direct participation of Anatolii Podolskyi, PhD, Director of the UCHS.

In his speech, Dr Podolskyi recalled the historical events of September 1941 in Kyiv, spoke about the executions of civilians in Babyn Yar until 1943, the cynical attitude of the Soviet authorities to the event (in particular, hiding the truth from people and the ban on honoring the memory of the executed) and expressed his gratitude to the modern young generation, which is able to empathize with the dead people they never knew.
