Crime against humanity

      In the local history museum of the city of Pervomaisk, as part of the celebration in Russia of the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People, an exhibition titled "Crimes Against Humanity" is opening. On April 19, Russia commemorates the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People. On this day in 1943, a decree was issued by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, which officially recognized for the first time the Nazi policy of exterminating the civilian population in occupied territories. The exhibition is dedicated to the tragic pages of history related to genocide, mass repressions, and crimes against the civilian population during World War II. The exhibition features informational materials provided by the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation, as well as the speech by Ms. Karin Kneissl at the opening ceremony of the International Scientific and Practical Forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years." The exhibition is not only a tribute to the victims but also an important step towards fostering a sense of historical responsibility and rejection of the ideology of violence among contemporaries. We invite everyone interested to visit the exhibition to learn more about the tragedy of genocide and to preserve the memory for future generations.
