Projects for School and University Students

In November 24, 2016 Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” hosted museum lesson for pupils of the 6^th grade of Dnipro school #78. School pupils participated in the museum lesson dedicated to the Holodomor Remembrance Day. The lesson was conducted near recently opened exhibition “The Holodomor 1932–1933” by Valentyn Rybalka, “Tkuma” Institute and the Holocaust Museum Research Associate.

He drew attention of students to the preconditions of the Holodomor, describing, in particular, the life of Ukrainian peasants on the eve of Stalin’s “revolution from above” and famine in 1921-23. As the lesson was held directly in the hall of the Holocaust Museum, the pupils had the opportunity to see original documents and photographs telling about the forced withdrawal of grain from the peasants, the resistance of Ukrainians to the policy of kolektyvizatsia of agriculture (including – Pavlograd uprising in 1930). Special attention was paid to the fate of Jews and members of other ethnic minorities – victims of Stalin’s regime.
