Approximately 200,000 people were forcibly removed in railway freight cars. This act of deportation resulted in countless casualties. Within days, an entire nation was uprooted from its homeland. Thousands of innocents perished in death trains and in special settlement areas. Entire families were destroyed. May 18 commemorates the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Genocide of the Crimean Tatar People, marking the anniversary of the deportation of the Crimean Tatar People in 1944. This designation was established on November 12, 2015, by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Additionally, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, through the same resolution, officially recognized the deportation of the Crimean Tatar people from Crimea as an act of genocide. |
