Museum lessons conducted by “Tkuma” Institute and Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” staff for pupils are becoming more and more popular. This project is joined by teachers and their pupils not only from Dnipropetrovsk, but from other parts of Ukraine as well.

On December 15, 2015 pupils of the 6^th – 10^th grades from Sumy visited the Museum. Dilfuza Hlushchenko and Tetyana Selyutina, “Tkuma” Institute and the Holocaust Museum research associates, conducted guided tours for pupils.

Iryna Piskariova, “Tkuma” Institute educational programs coordinator, organized interactive sessions for students. During the interactive sessions, students learned new and interesting facts on the history and culture of Jews in Ukraine, shared their impressions of the Museum exhibition and actualized knowledge of the history of World War II, the Holocaust and other genocides; forming their understanding of tolerance.

“Tkuma” Institute and the Holocaust Museum staff organized also the guided tour around the city. Valentyn Rybalka, “Tkuma” Institute research associate, told interesting facts of Dnipropetrovsk history. During the tour, students visited Gagarin Park, where a monument to Holocaust victims is located. It was there when in October 1941 more than 11,000 Jews were killed. Pupils laid flowers to the monument and stones according to Jewish tradition.
