\u201cThis exhibition is about children who had rights, went to school, planned holidays, imagined who they would become when they grew up. But they will never grow up; they were killed by the Russian war.
Silence is a form of consent.
This exhibition is about the responsibility to see, the responsibility to call things by their true names. This tragedy is a challenge not only for Ukraine, but for Europe as well,\u201d — Tetiana Matyash-Myrna said in her address.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The exhibition tells the tragic stories of children from Kharkiv city and region whose lives were cut short by Russian attacks on civilians. Each story is not only a testimony of a war crime but also a reminder to the world of the price Ukraine is paying.<\/p>\n

The initiative for the exhibition was led by Tetiana Matyash-Myrna. The project was implemented by the Kharkiv Human Rights Group NGO and the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor\u2019s Office. In Ghent, the exhibition is organized by the Anti-Discrimination Center \u201cMemorial\u201d\u2013Brussels with the support of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Parish in Ghent and Kerkfabriek Sint Salvatorkerk.<\/p>\n

First presented in Kharkiv, the exhibition is now traveling across Europe to honor the memory of the children who died, draw international attention to Russia\u2019s war crimes, and call for investigation of each one.<\/p>\n

The \u201cAngels of Kharkivshchina\u201d exhibition can be visited at Sint-Salvator Heilig Kerst (Sleepstraat 216, 9000 Ghent) daily from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM until March 20. Entrance is free.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
