From the US Holocaust Memorial Museum

As Russia’s horrific assault on Ukraine continues, we at the Museum are inspired by the resistance and resilience of the Ukrainian people. For the past three decades, since the fall of the Soviet Union, the Museum has been hard at work with partners in Ukraine collecting eyewitness testimony, supporting the work of scholars, and digitizing archives. Given the perversion of historical truth to justify this invasion, we share stories below that illuminate the history of Ukraine and its people during the Holocaust.
