Unveiling of the Stumbling Stone in honour of Mariia Rozhnovska

On 24 October 2025, as part of the project One Stone - One Life. 80 Stumbling Stones for Kyiv, the final Stumbling Stone of the year was installed in Kyiv’s Ivan Kramsky Square in honour of Mariia Rozhnovska, Righteous Among the Nations.

The ceremony brought together people who attend every installation and those encountering the project for the first time - curious passers-by who stopped to learn more, and relatives of others commemorated through the initiative.

The performance Circle of Memory was led by artist Flora Borovyk. Teenage volunteers, taking part in the ceremony for the third time, shared that this work holds deep personal meaning for them.

This event marked the official unveiling of the Stumbling Stone dedicated to Mariia Rozhnovska.

The project was initiated by the German Embassy in Kyiv / Deutsche Botschaft Kyjiw and implemented by the Ukrainian Centre for Holocaust Studies in cooperation with the Educational Centre Space of Tolerance and the Kyiv City State Administration.
