Throughout its existence, Museum “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” implements a number of research projects related to the preservation and research of the past of our country and the history and culture of the Jewish communities of Ukraine. Among other topics, the collection of oral history materials from the period of the Nazi occupation and the Holocaust is of particular importance. The other day, another interview with the granddaughter of the Righteous Among the Nations, Mrs. Svitlana Kravchenko, was recorded in the Museum. The family of her grandmother, Nataliya Ivanivna Kravchenko (1905–1973), who lived in occupied Artemivsk (now Bakhmut, Donetsk region), saved the lives of Jewish children – Volodymyr, Anatoly and Yury Horodynskyi. In 2006, the savior's feat was honored by the State of Israel, and her great-grandchildren received a medal and diploma of the Righteous Among the Nations.

Each story of salvation contains a significant number of non-obvious plots and, in part, paradoxical, from the point of view of us, contemporaries, vicissitudes. Family testimonies are not only an important historical source that complements our understanding of the terrible circumstances of the Catastrophe, but also invaluable material that forms the memory of the dramatic events of the Holocaust on Ukrainian lands.

Soon, the story of Natalia Ivanivna Kravchenko will be available to all visitors to the exhibition, as well as subscribers at the Museum's YouTube channel.
