The Exodus-2022 project collects the personal testimonies of Jewish refugees following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This includes emotional reactions to the outbreak of war, experiences of surviving under artillery shelling and bombing (often in basements without electricity, gas, communications and minimal water and food), finding ways to evacuate and the evacuation itself, reflecting on what happened, etc.
Some refugees lost their homes, and many lost their jobs and livelihoods. There are also people among them who were seriously wounded and whose relatives were killed in this war.
The geography of the exodus includes Kharkiv, Mariupol, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Bucha, Irpin, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhziia, Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, among others. The map of evacuation endpoints covers the whole of Europe, Israel and localities in the West of Ukraine.
The result of the project will be the creation of a multilingual website (Russian, Ukrainian, English, German, Hebrew) with stories and photo/video materials.
