On September 27-28, the XXI I International Contest of creative works for schoolchildren, students, postgraduates and teachers “Lessons of war and Holocaust – lessons of tolerance”, organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and “Tkuma” Ukrainian Institute for Holocaust Studies was held online. The opening began with a moment of silence and commemoration of those who died because of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. And since the final of the Contest was held on the eve of the Holocaust Remembrance Day, the symbolic beginning of the event was a lecture-conversation by Dr. Igor Shchupak “Babyn Yar as a symbol of the Holocaust, a genocide that was not to be repeated, and the unlearned lessons of history”, during which the wars and genocides of the past were talked about through the prism of the tragedy of the present.
This year, the participants of the Finale presented a wide range of forms of performance of the Contest works: these are scientific studies on history and literature, and search works created on local history and family materials, drawings and multimedia works, methodical development of educational classes. The selected works will be published in the publications of “Tkuma” Institute.
