A lesson for future generations
The three-day international forum “Nuremberg, Tokyo, Khabarovsk: World Practices in Condemning Nazism, Extremism and Inciting Ethnic Hatred” has ended at USUE. The participants gathered to sum up the results, say parting words, and present gratitude certificates.
Addressing the audience at the closing ceremony of the forum, USUE Rector Yakov Silin heartily thanked the participants of the event: “Everything that you heard from the speakers, saw at the exhibitions and the reconstruction of the Nuremberg Trials, will help you feel this memory, and, what is more, prepare to pass it on to new generations and to everyone you will meet in life. We see what is happening in the world today. Rational people are waiting for a new International Tribunal, and those responsible for inciting hatred will be punished. The enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours!”
Students and university teachers from five regions of Russia, government and local officials, and specialists in preventative actions against Nazism, extremism and inciting ethnic hatred spent three days discussing the historical and political significance of the Nuremberg, Tokyo and Khabarovsk trials.
They specially thanked Ivan Zadereychuk, associate professor at the Department of General Humanitarian and Socio-Economic Disciplines of the Crimean Law Institute (branch of the University of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation), his colleagues and students for one highlight of the forum - the reconstruction of the Nuremberg Tribunal. Ivan Zadereychuk, in his turn, expressed his gratitude to the organizers of the forum.
Vladimir Lukin, deputy director for exposition and exhibition work of the Central Armed Forces Museum under the Ministry of Defense of Russia, noted how much and deep work USUE had done to implement the international forum: “Adopt this approach so that in the future, when you become a teacher or hold an executive position, you yourself could host such an event and continue this awareness-raising work.
Yury Zelenov, Deputy Minister of Education and Youth Policy of the Sverdlovsk region, noted: “I am very sorry that your generation has to go through what is happening in the world today. You must live in peace, receive knowledge, and then pass it on. It is impossible to live in the present and build a glittering future without knowing the history of the past.”
USUE will send forum materials to partner universities for demonstration to students in all corners of Russia.
