Nissan 27 - the Day of Catastrophe and heroism, day of sorrow and memory - is marked not only in Israel where a corresponding law was passed as early as in 1951, three years after the establishment of an independent Jewish state.

It unites those born several generations later and those for whom the Catastrophe is a continuous pain, an open wound of one's own life.

"Israel to a great Odessa" is the name of the Israeli cultural center's project initiated during the recent Days of Israeli Culture in the city.

The solemn ceremony took place in the Richelyevskaya Street, 44/46. Another distinguished Odessa resident who has greatly contributed to the cause of the Jewish renaissance - Lev (Leon) Pinsker - is commemorated here.
