Now Putin wants to kill me because I am Ukrainian&#8221; \u2014 The Story of Roman Shvartsman as a Voice of Memory and Resistance<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"193\" data-end=\"667\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On January 27, 2025 \u2014 International Holocaust Remembrance Day \u2014 one speech stood out in the halls of the German Bundestag. It was delivered by Roman Shvartsman, a Ukrainian who survived the Holocaust as a child and has spent nearly 90 years bearing witness to one of the darkest chapters of the 20th century. In his address, he drew a direct parallel between Hitler and Putin. His words were not just memories \u2014 they were a warning to the world: history is repeating itself.<\/span><\/p><blockquote data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"781\"><p class=\"\" data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"781\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cBack then, Hitler wanted to kill me because I was Jewish. Now Putin wants to kill me because I am Ukrainian.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p class=\"\" data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"1095\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These words sounded like both a verdict and an alarm. Not only about the past, but also about the present. Russia, which invaded Ukraine, is destroying civilian populations, demolishing cities, deporting children, and bringing an ideology of hatred to the occupied territories \u2014 just as the Third Reich once did.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1138\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Memory as a Weapon Against Forgetting<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1140\" data-end=\"1524\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Roman Shvartsman has devoted his life to ensuring the world never forgets what people are capable of when blinded by ideology. He founded dozens of Holocaust memorials across southern Ukraine \u2014 in Odesa, Domanivka, Balta, Bohdanivka \u2014 places where Jews were massacred during the Nazi occupation. Today, many of these same regions are once again on fire \u2014 this time from Russian bombs.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1673\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In his Bundestag speech, Shvartsman reminded the world that the lessons of history are not just in textbooks. When we ignore them, tragedies recur.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1675\" data-end=\"1717\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">War Tourism as a Path to Understanding<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"\" data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"2004\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong data-start=\"1719\" data-end=\"1732\">\u062c\u0648\u0644\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0631\u0628<\/strong> was created not for entertainment but as a tool for education and remembrance. We take people to places where history speaks through ruins, trenches, museums, and memorials. Where you can not only see, but <em data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"1945\">feel<\/em> how fragile peace is \u2014 and how easily it can be destroyed.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2317\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Roman Shvartsman is a symbol of how personal pain can become a national memory. A memory we strive to share with everyone who visits Ukraine. Memory tourism is not only about the past. It&#8217;s about a present being shaped right now. It&#8217;s about awareness born not in comfort, but in direct confrontation with truth.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2570\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When we show tourists old Jewish ghettos or battlefields near Kyiv or Kharkiv, we\u2019re not just giving a tour \u2014 we\u2019re continuing the mission of people like Shvartsman. Because he reminds us: evil always returns in new forms if we don\u2019t name it out loud.<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2572\" data-end=\"2620\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why Does Shvartsman Compare Putin to Hitler?<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2622\" data-end=\"2904\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not emotional rhetoric \u2014 it\u2019s a historical diagnosis. Both sought (and seek) to exterminate people for who they are: Jews, Ukrainians, dissidents. Both justified their violence with fabricated myths of \u201cexternal enemies.\u201d Both aimed to erase nations, cultures, and freedoms.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"2906\" data-end=\"3078\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is not exaggeration. It is the conclusion of someone who <em data-start=\"2968\" data-end=\"2973\">saw<\/em> fascism firsthand \u2014 and now sees it again. This time, from the east, in the form of the &#8220;Russian world.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"3080\" data-end=\"3108\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To Remember Is to Resist<\/span><\/h3><p class=\"\" data-start=\"3110\" data-end=\"3365\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Roman Shvartsman is not just a witness to history. He is its continuation. His words are a reminder that Ukraine today is not only a battlefield, but a field of memory. And those who come here to see, hear, and understand \u2014 become part of this resistance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Hitler wanted to kill me because I was Jewish.
