On May 14, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Remembrance of Ukrainians who rescued Jews during World War II. The memorial date was established by the resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dated February 2, 2021, as a sign of respect for the Ukrainian Righteous Among the Nations and other saviors of the Jews, for their compassion and solidarity.
Today, Ukraine ranks fourth in the world in terms of the number of such heroes. As of January 1, 2022, 2,691 people of various ethnic origins who rescued Jews during the Holocaust and lived in the territory of modern Ukraine were honored with this award.
The video recording of the speech of the director of “Tkuma” Institute, Dr. Igor Shchupak, in the program of Vitaliy Dribnytsia, a well-known blogger and historian, the founder of the “Vox Veritatis” and “Historian every Saturday” programs, is devoted to this topic.
We invite you to watch the video on the Youtube channel of “Tkuma” Institute!
