Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has been chosen as the chairman of the supervisory board of the National Holodomor-Genocide Museum, according to Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture. The board was formed in an inaugural meeting on August 5, with Yushchenko appointed to lead an 11-member group composed of civic leaders, international representatives, diaspora members, and academics.
The museum’s primary goals include finishing the construction of the second phase of the complex, establishing a permanent exhibition, and establishing stable financing. Tetyana Berezhna, the Deputy Prime Minister for Humanitarian Policy and Minister of Culture, highlighted the museum’s mission to honor the victims, their descendants, and future Ukrainian generations by preserving their memories, advancing research, involving young people, and disseminating the truth about the Holodomor globally.
The museum’s deputy chairman is Roman Vashchuk, a former Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine, and Olga Soroka, the founder of the Network of Descendants of Holodomor Victims, serves as secretary. Yushchenko emphasized the difficulty of addressing this issue while Ukraine is at war, stressing the importance of mobilizing internal Ukrainian business and economic strength, as well as the global Ukrainian diaspora, to secure funds for the second phase of construction.
