Kyiv Opens 'State of Deceit' Exhibit on Nazi Propaganda for Babyn Yar Anniversary

Original materials from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum anchor a display that explains propaganda’s role in the Holocaust.

Overview

  • The exhibition is open to the public at the Living Memory Exhibition Centre at 46A Yuri Illienko Street in Kyiv.
  • Curators present posters and documents selected by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and produced with the UN "Holocaust and the UN" education programme in all UN official languages.
  • Director Roza Tapanova underscores the exhibit as a warning to identify hostile manipulation, including Russian propaganda aimed at Ukraine.
  • USHMM director Paul Shapiro emphasizes that racist and antisemitic messaging under the Nazi regime built the dynamics that culminated in the Holocaust.
