Ukraine: making the \u201eunimaginable tangible\u201c through \u201eVoices of War\u201c – in the spirit of IGFM<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The project of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group \u201eVoices of War\u201c has been close to IGFM’s heart from the very beginning. IGFM has always been an organisation that gives a voice to victims and witnesses of human rights violations. This has been the “spirit” of IGFM for more than half a century. That is why we have been supporting the project for many months now, helping to translate and publish heart-wrenching interviews from the war zone.<\/p>\n

On October 18, as part of the programme of the Frankfurt Book Fair and the cooperation of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group with MEMORIAL Germany and the Fritz Bauer Institute, there was a surprise visit by Yevhen Sakharov himself, the chairman of the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group, which gathers \u201evoices of war\u201c throughout Ukraine to make the \u201eunimaginable tangible\u201c. So our visit to this joint event at the University of Frankfurt, which we could not miss, was equally sudden and unexpected.<\/p>\n

It was all the more pleasing to meet the chairman of our project partner in person… And in the spirit of IGFM, as it soon turned out, Yevhen Sakharov is a long-standing member of IGFM Ukraine! His first trip to Western Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union was at the invitation of IGFM to the Annual General Assembly of the German Section in 1995. He well remembers the founder of IGFM, Ivan Agrusov, and the then Director of IGFM, Karl Hafen.<\/p>\n

While Yevhen Sakharov will be on his way home for “Voices of War”, MEMORIAL will still be present at the Frankfurt Book Fair. You can find them in Section 4.1. Don’t miss it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
