An important cultural step has been taken in the largest maritime city of Ukraine - Odessa. A memorial plaque has been installed in honor of the People's Artist of Ukraine, Henrikh Ostashevsky. It is worth noting that this outstanding actor saved Jews from the Holocaust during World War II, boldly risking his own life.The ceremony of unveiling the memorial plaque took place near the Ukrainian theater named after V. Vasylyk. This act was important not only as a symbol of preserving historical memory, but also as a manifestation of solidarity with all those who defended good during the wartime troubles.Ostashevsky was known not only as a savior during the war, but also as an outstanding actor with numerous roles in the theater. His colleagues always remembered him as a professional and kind-hearted person who was always ready to help. Despite his heroic deed, Ostashevsky remained a modest individual, and many of his colleagues were not even aware of his feats during the war.Henrikh Ostashevsky passed away in 2004, but his glory does not fade. His name has already been honored in many places in Ukraine and abroad. The initiative to install the memorial plaque was carried out by the Odessa Regional Association of Jews, the theater named after V. Vasylyk, and the Odessa Museum of the Holocaust.
