For the first time in 26 years of independence, Ukraine, in the person of director Gennady Kurochka, received yesterday the award of the Cannes Festival - the "Bronze Lion" for the musical production of "The Witness". I had the honor to see her in the evening of September 29, 2016 in Babi Yar on the 75th anniversary of the tragedy.

Strikes another. The director legitimately rejoices in FB his success, and he writes a malicious commentary some Irina Golets, the stage designer of the theater. Shevchenko: "Why did you hide from the world and offend other Kievites and prisoners of war who were shot in Babyn Yar? I did not find even a mention of the tragedy of the Ukrainian people on the website of the project. "Witness" must not testify ".

I will leave behind the brackets a remarkable detail in the words of Pani Golets: she does not consider the mass murder of the Jews of Kiev part of the tragedy of the Ukrainian people.

But I want to inform Irina and her similar deniers of the Jewish Holocaust: the Nazis shot at the end of September and early October 1941 in the BJ just very selectively - and by "strange coincidence" selectively by ethnicity = namely Jews. And the 75th anniversary of this tragedy was celebrated all over the world last year.

Babi Yar was and will remain a symbol of the memory and grief of the Jewish people. And anti-Semites can only bite their elbows from the fact that the first in the history of Ukraine, "Cannes Leo" was received for a high-quality staging on the topic of the Holocaust. This is clearly the intrigues of Cannes artists.
