July 11 – A Day of Remembrance

On July 11, we honor the memory of the victims of the Volhynia tragedy and all those whose lives were forever changed by the violence that unfolded during the Second World War. As a museum dedicated to preserving history, we believe that remembering the past with honesty, dignity, and compassion is both our responsibility and our privilege. Behind every historical event are individual lives, families, and communities whose stories deserve to be remembered. May remembrance inspire understanding, encourage thoughtful dialogue, and strengthen our shared commitment to peace, human dignity, and reconciliation between nations.
