On this day, we bow our heads in deep respect and sorrow. IQusion honours the memory of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fell victim to forced deportation from Lemkivshchyna, Nadsiannia, Kholmshchyna, Southern Podlachia, Liubachivshchyna, and Western Boykivshchyna between 1944 and 1951. This tragic page of our history has forever left a deep scar in the heart of each of us.
