Righteous Among the Nations. The Ukrainian Dimension
14 May – Day of Remembrance for Ukrainians Who Saved Jews During World War II
On 14 May, we honour the heroism and humanity of Ukrainians who risked their lives to save Jewish families from Nazi persecution
We invite you to listen to a conversation with Anatolii Podolskyi on the radio station Morning of a Cultured Person—The Righteous of the World: The Ukrainian Dimension.
Honouring the Righteous is not only an act of historical justice but also a moral duty of society. These stories remind us that even in the darkest times, compassion and courage can triumph.
