ERASE THE NATION A Documentary Film by Tomasz Grzywaczewski

Join us for a seminal film about Ukraine’s fight to preserve its cultural heritage from historical erasure. Erase the Nation is a documentary war film that sheds light on the tragic chapter of Russian war crimes committed against Ukraine’s national and multicultural heritage. This powerful film highlights the devastation inflicted on museums, monuments, archaeological sites and sacred religious places ruthlessly destroyed by Russian forces who are trying to rewrite history in the name of Russian chauvinist ideology. We are delighted that war journalist, award-winning author, and the film’s director Tomasz Grzywaczewski will join us for the screening to introduce his film and to answer questions from the audience. Through compelling interviews, Tomasz’s film reveals the resilience and determination of brave individuals in the Ukrainian cultural sphere and underscores how in the face of devastation, the spirit of art and heritage can shine through, offering hope and a path toward restoration. Erase the Nation has been screened at international forums such as OSCE and UNESCO, as well as in cities worldwide. This film was produced by Maciej Pawelczyk and Mark V. Vlasic and is in English and Ukrainian with English subtitles. More information and registration are available on Eventbrite. Admission to the Museum’s galleries is included in the ticket price for the screening.
