„Protecting Memory“

Digital exhibition by Stiftung Denkmal
During the German occupation from 1941 to 1944, over one million Jewish children, women and men were murdered in mass shooting operations and hastily buried in pits throughout the territory of present-day Ukraine. From 2010 to the end of 2019, the international project Protecting Memory transformed a total of 20 neglected and forgotten mass graves of Jews and Roma into dignified places of remembrance and information.
On the occasion of the IHRA Berlin Plenary 2020 under German chairmanship, Stiftung Denkmal digitized their exhibition.
