Stumbling Stones: How the City Preserves the Memory of Kyiv Residents Persecuted During World War II.

- Have you seen Stumbling Stones in the city?
- Would you like to learn more?
- Do you want to join the urban community that cares for the Stones and can share their meaning with neighbors, friends, and visitors?

When: February 7, 14:00–15:30
Where: Sens Bookstore, 34 Khreshchatyk St.
Admission: Free, with prior registration here

Speakers:
Nadiia Ufimtseva, historian at the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies, MA in Judaic Studies, consultant of the Stumbling Stones project
Uliana Ustinova, project coordinator, trainer in non-formal education

Discussion topics:
- Stumbling Stones as an example of preserving memory in urban space
- Who is responsible for the project in Kyiv and how the names are chosen
- Why it is vital to preserve the memory of those persecuted by the Nazis today, during another war - and what forgetting might cost us
