The ceremony was also attended by Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak, members of the Government, rabbis and representatives of the diplomatic corps.
The crime of the Holocaust should never be repeated, but gradually, unfortunately, the memory of the Holocaust is becoming weaker. And the evil that tries to destroy the lives of entire nations still remains in the world, – the head of state wrote.
