Recently, Museum "Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine" received a unique exhibit - "Name lists of mobilization for the army in January-July 1941" by Zhovtnevyi District Military Commissariat of Dnipropetrovsk (now Dnipro).

The journal contains materials on sending conscripts for active military service in the Red Army, and some of them to study in military academies and schools.

The lists of conscripts and mobilized, a significant part of which in our city were Jews, are valuable. Few of them joined the Red Army in June-July 1941, i.e. in the first months of the German-Soviet war.

This unique source not only clarifies certain details of the course of specific human destinies, but also once again testifies to the participation  of Dnipropetrovsk and Ukrainian Jews in the fight against Nazism during World War II.

The artifact was donated to Museum by the coordinator of the Brit Milah Program, Abraham Joseph Isaac Karshenbaum.
