The Holocaust Museum in Odesa, Holocaust Memorial Museum in Odesa, Ukraine
The Holocaust Museum in Odesa is a memorial museum dedicated to remembering persecution during World War II. The exhibits display photographs, documents, objects, and personal accounts from those who experienced these events.
The institution was established in 2009 to document the impact of occupation by Romanian and German forces in Odesa between 1941 and 1944. During this period, the Jewish population was systematically persecuted and decimated.
