Yad Vashem Response to Fictitious Allegations Regarding the Depiction of Ukrainian Participation in the Murder of Jews during the Holocaust.

There has been no act of concealment, removal, or alteration of exhibitions in Yad Vashem's Holocaust History Museum that obfuscate the historically accurate truth regarding the collaboration of Ukrainians in the murder of Jews during the Holocaust. Yad Vashem remains committed to present the unbiased historical events of the Holocaust. Yad Vashem specifically addresses the actions and efforts of local collaborators in the territories of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Moldova as part of Nazi Germany's plan to annihilate the Jews of Europe.

An example of Yad Vashem's commitment is the undertaking and promotion of its International Institute for Holocaust Research Untold Stories Project, which maps out the locations of over 2200 mass killing sites from more than 1100 communities in the former Soviet Union. Some 700 of these communities in Ukraine alone. As part of this research project, Yad Vashem offers archival documentation and testimony describing the mass murder of the Jews of Eastern Europe by the Nazis often assisted by local collaborators.
