On June 17, 2025, a lecture on the topic ““Double Crime”: The Holocaust in the Dnipro and the Struggle for the Memory of the Victims” was held at the Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture, which was held by Dr. Yehor Vradii, Deputy Director of “Tkuma” Ukrainian Institute for Holocaust Studies. The listeners, and there were about 60 of them on Tuesday evening, had the opportunity to learn not only about the course of the Holocaust in a large urban center that fell under Nazi occupation, but also to learn about the interim results of the lecturer’s research project on the phenomenon of the transmission of the Holocaust memory between different generations of Jews and non-Jews – residents of Dnipro.

Despite the length of the lecture, its topic, as well as the aspects discussed, aroused a response from the audience. Among other things, those who visited the Dnipro Center for Contemporary Culture were interested in the aspect of collaborationism in occupied Ukraine and in the Dnipro itself, the attitude of the local population to the German occupation, anti-Semitism in the post-war period, etc.

It is worth emphasizing that during the lecture, Dr. E. Vradii not only showed some documentary materials that have not yet been put into scientific circulation (in particular, archival materials related to the struggle of the Dnipro Jewish community for a monument to the victims of Nazi executions), but also simultaneously presented publications of “Tkuma” Institute, which already reflected certain aspects of the Holocaust in Ukraine, on the territory of the Reichcommissariat “Ukraine” and Dnipro.
