Exposition prepared by the Ukraine 3000 Fund presented at the Ukraine Remembers: Holodomor of 1932-1933 – Genocide of the Ukrainian People exhibition

An exposition prepared by the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund is presented at the Ukraine Remembers: Holodomor of 1932-1933 – Genocide of the Ukrainian People national exhibition.

The Ukraine 3000 Fund presented posters by participants of the Candle in the Window Second All-Ukrainian Poster Competition. The authors of the posters are students of secondary and art schools along with professional artists and designers. With geography of the works embracing all Ukraine from Lviv to Kharkiv, the most active were Poltava oblast schoolchildren and members of the Kharkiv-based Block Four Graphic Artists Union. The visitors at the exhibition can take part in selecting the contest winner, submitting a bulletin with marked works they believe the best.

Also, the Ukraine 3000 Fund presented its Executed by Famine: the Unknown Genocide of the Ukrainians exhibition for foreign audience, which had earlier been displayed to the global community in Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland with the support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has received a broad feedback.

The Ukraine Remembers: Holodomor of 1932-1933 – Genocide of the Ukrainian People exhibition was opened November 21, 2007, at the Ukrainian House Palace of the Arts. President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko and Head of the Supervisory Board of the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund Kateryna Yushchenko took part in the opening ceremony.

The main exposition displays the We Accuse: Genocide Famine of the Ukrainian People of 1932-1933 by the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory. The visitors also can see once again the Declassified Memory exhibition prepared by the Security Service of Ukraine which has been displayed in all Ukraine’s regions and abroad. No less interesting is the educational and artistic exposition of paintings on Holodomor theme from Morgan Williams’s private collection, a children’s paintings show from Poltava oblast, where little artists express their vision of this chapter of our history, and Valery Franchuk works. The considerable number of visitors at the exhibition is an evidence of the importance of this subject for the contemporary Ukrainian community.

The exhibition will continue till December 5, 2007.
