The Holocaust Museum in Odesa

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.

The museum preserves memories of people whose stories might otherwise be forgotten, showing how this period shaped the lives of Odesa's Jewish community. Visitors can see personal belongings and written records that reveal how families lived through these times.

The museum offers guided tours and educational programs that deepen understanding of discrimination's consequences. Visitors should plan adequate time to explore the exhibits and personal stories thoroughly.

A miniature diorama shows a ghetto from 1942, giving visitors insight into daily conditions during Romanian occupation. This recreated scene helps make the reality of that era more tangible and understandable.
