Day of Remembrance for Ukrainians Who Rescued Jews During World War II

May 14, 2026

May the Almighty bless the memory of the Ukrainian Righteous and their descendants!

I had the honor of participating in a commemorative event at Babi Yar dedicated to the Day of Remembrance for Ukrainians Who Rescued Jews During World War II


During the Holocaust, when Hitler’s Nazis were exterminating the Jewish people, there were Ukrainians who, risking their own lives and the lives of their loved ones, hid Jewish families and helped children—giving people a chance to survive!


In 2021, Ukraine established this day to honor the memory of those who demonstrated true humanity and courage


The Israeli National Holocaust Memorial “Yad Vashem” has recognized 2,713 Ukrainians as Righteous Among the Nations. Behind these numbers lie thousands of Jewish lives saved


Therefore, the Jewish community of Ukraine remembers these Heroes with deep gratitude!


May the Almighty bless the memory of the Ukrainian Righteous and their descendants!
