In October 1941, the Romanian-German occupiers began mass extermination of the Jewish population in the city of Odesa and Odesa region. According to incomplete data, several tens of thousands of our compatriots became victims of the Holocaust in 1941 alone.
On October 25, 2024, a group of students of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Informatics and Management majoring in 281 Public Management and Administration and 014 Secondary Education (mathematics) visited the Holocaust Museum in Odesa.
The students learned not only about the organization of the eerie Nazi "conveyor belt of death" in our city, but also about the life of the citizens during the occupation, about the historical buildings destroyed in the war, about the circumstances of the liberation of Odesa, about the "righteous men of peace" from Odessa, who risked their own lives to hide the doomed, and about Odesans who became collaborators. The tragic events of 1941-1944 forever became a black page in the history of Odesa, and the memory of the innocent victims is carefully preserved in our city.
We express our gratitude to Oleh Dolzhenkov, professor of the Department of Educational Management and Public Administration, museum director Tetyana Voytenko, and local historian Ilya Perstnev, who took on the role of tour guide, for organizing a free visit to the museum by students of Ushynsky University
