Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, it is impossible to count the number of Holocaust victims accurately. However, researchers say that the Nazi death machine took more than six million lives. About one and a half million killed by the Nazis and their allies, or one in four, was a Ukrainian Jew.
The Museum’s Memorial Hall contains only a handful of the names of those who died in ravines, ditches, camps, on the streets, in forests, and freight cars. We do not know the names of all the victims. However, we believe that the desire to remember everyone is the best reminder of the possible limits of human indifference and cruelty. At the same time, memory is the least we can do to avoid becoming contemporaries of genocide today and in the future.
