Memorial Complex-Museum "Molotkiv Tragedy"

Museum / gallery , Monument

The Molotkiv Tragedy Museum Complex was opened in 1985 as the central part of the memorial complex in memory of the 617 civilians of the village who were killed, burned alive and murdered by the German fascists on April 29, 1943. The authors of the project are architect Ivan Osadchuk and sculptor Borys Rudy.

Between two large earthen ramparts symbolizing a mass grave, the road leads to the symbolic Death Street - the street of the burned village, which in turn leads to the Molotkiv Tragedy Museum. On both sides of it are burned houses, red floors the color of blood.

The museum's exposition includes a diorama "Burning of the Village" (artist Stepan Nechay), fragments of a burned house: burnt doors, charred cradle and icon, etc. (design by Bohdan Boshko and Stepan Mamchur), a Book of Memory containing the memories of Molotkiv residents about the tragedy. On the stands are photographs and lists of those executed in Molotkiv and neighboring villages. The exhibits collected here tell about the history of the village, the participation of its residents in World War II.
