history: The collection was started by V.D. Zavodyanyi in 1980, and the museum has been operating since 1999. Vodyanyi also said that before the museum was created, he actively provided documents from the collection to students of history, most of whom later did not return the original documents. In 1981-1982, he lent an old bilingual local book to Svitlana Blokha, a resident of the village of Zelenyi Hai, half of which was in Hebrew, and the book was not returned to him either. In 1984, the file cabinet of the district newspaper burned down. The collection contained records of memoirs of the village's residents - prisoners of concentration camps, diaries about the Holocaust (about 10 original diaries that did not survive the occupation). Nothing from the part of the collection concerning the Jewish history of the village survived the Russian occupation in 2022. The museum had 350 artifacts, about 25% of which have been preserved. An inventory has not yet been conducted. After the de-occupation of the village, documents and photos from the museum were found near the Ingulets River, at the stadium, and at the school's research site. Zavodyanyi V. said that the occupier with the nickname Tucha was the commander under whose command the museum was robbed. Quote: He settled his soldiers there. They lived there as soon as they came to our village on March 9, and fled on November 9. The first thing they did on the second day was to go to the school and clean up everything. The founders of the museum plan to restore it: Quote: “And Viktor and I want to restore the museum, we definitely won't have time now, but we will definitely restore it later.”
