Biographical History
To preserve the memory of the local villagers for future generations. The initiative was launched in 2015, when local librarian Liudmyla Pyliuk gave local teacher Larysa Dyakiv six testimonies of local residents. When Dyakiv and her school students were preparing a project for the national competition “History of My Community,” and she invited the children to participate in it. The school research focused on identifying the names of people who were shot in Lvove during World War II. In 2018, the initiative group published the children's appeal “Turning the Forgotten into the Unforgettable” to the local community for information about Lvove residents who were in the city during the Nazi occupation. The Dyakiv initiative group was able to record up to 10 records of memories of local people, which were left in paper form in the Dyakiv house during the Russian occupation of the village in 2022. The group also collected about 100 photos and certificates from local residents, and these materials remained in the local school, which was destroyed by hostilities since 2022.
