“The complex will include a dozen buildings, including two separate museums — one for Ukrainians and Eastern European Jews killed in the Holocaust, and one specifically memorializing those who died at Babyn Yar. There will also be a church, a mosque, a synagogue, a multimedia center, a research center, and a conference building.” The artistic director of the project is the controversial filmmaker Ilya Khrzhanovsky (DAU), and several senior staffers have quit in protest over his plans: one says Khrzhanovsky intends to subject visitors to ‘psychometric algorithms’ and experiments, while another calls the whole thing “Holocaust Disneyland.” – Artnet
