A memorial project in the living room, which has become an integral part of Holocaust Martyrs 'and Heroes' Remembrance Day in Israel and around the world, will be held for the first time this year in the Muslim country of Turkmenistan.
This is one of the most important events to be held this year, as a living room memorial in Turkmenistan marks a key milestone in the assimilation of Holocaust remembrance in Muslim countries.
In the living room there will be evidence of Nava Ruda Holocaust survivors.
In addition, a 12-year-old girl from Turkmenistan will present a project on the subject of Righteous Among the Nations that she submitted at her school.

As part of the living room, there will be the testimony of Holocaust survivor Nava Roda, who was born in 1934 in Lvov (Poland of that time, present-day Ukraine).
She and her family hid in the basement and managed to escape deportation twice.
After being discovered in hiding, she and her mother were arrested but managed to break free with a bribe, and were then transferred to the ghetto.
In 1943, Nava fled the ghetto and found refuge with a Polish girl (Righteous Among the Nations).
Her parents also survived the war while in hiding, but her brother Shlomo was murdered in the Ternopil labor camp at the age of 16. In 1949, the family immigrated to Israel.

Immediately after the testimony of Holocaust survivor Nava Ruda, 12-year-old girl Aymur Mammetorazova from a Turkmen family will present the project she submitted to the school on the subject of Righteous Among the Nations.
The project will also include archival photographs accompanied by pieces of music from the Holocaust period.
In fact, Aymur represents the younger generation in Turkmenistan in living room memory, and the project she presented at the school proves the vitality of Holocaust education in the world.
