Medialny obraz ocalałych z Holocaustu – ofiar wojny na Ukrainie w 2022 roku

Abstract

The article analyzes the media image of Holocaust survivors – victims of war in Ukraine. It mentions that Jews are one of the oldest communities living in these lands. Indeed, the absolute majority of Ukrainian Jews are counted among the descendants of one of the most numerous Jewish ethnic groups – known as Ashkenazi. Siedlecki notes that many who survived the Shoah and their children and grandchildren found themselves in the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence after World War II. With great difficulty, already after the thaw and independence, they rebuilt their community, religion, and culture. As a result of Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine, they have to evacuate in a hurry, abandoning their homes and all the possessions they have accumulated over the years. It is a nightmarish exodus that we have not faced for a very long time. Black pages of history that seemed like they would never happen again.
