In my lecture, I will present the results of various historical and social projects carried out in Ukraine in 2012-2021 with the support of the EVZ Foundation. These projects focused on the issues of forced labor under National Socialism and the "Forgotten Victims" of National Socialism - Soviet prisoners of war and patients in psychiatric hospitals. In the second half of my presentation, I will describe how the social network of various contacts created within the framework of these research and public projects helped to find former victims of National Socialism during the Russian aggression against Ukraine and to provide them with assistance from the EVZ.
