Exhibition Opening: “Voices That Survived: Memory and Resilience of the Jewish Community in Ukraine”

UNESCO Ukraine and Lviv Culture Hub invite you to the opening of the exhibition “Voices That Survived: Memory and Resilience of the Jewish Community in Ukraine”!

‍

The exhibition explores the lives of Jewish communities in Ukraine and the stories of individuals whose experiences have been preserved in documentary heritage. Through archival photographs and video testimonies, it brings together personal stories and the broader historical context of the Jewish community in Ukraine.

The programme includes:

- An exhibition of archival photographs documenting the lives, education and culture of Jewish communities in Ukraine, as well as the fates of individuals during the Holocaust.

- A screening of The Sorrow of Sarah (1913) from the collection of the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Centre — one of the oldest films on a Jewish theme in its collection.

- A lecture by historian Nadiia Ufimtseva, “Jewish History of Ukraine: A Heritage We Are Still Discovering”, exploring lesser-known chapters in the history of Jewish communities and the documentary sources that help us research and rediscover them.
