It is difficult to overstate the contribution P.P. Sokolsky made into the creation of the memorial park and museum “Drobytsky Yar”. A professional historian, P.P. Sokolsky, investigated the tragedy of the Holocaust, and researched the names of Jews murdered during the Nazi occupation of the city of Kharkov.

His books contained martyrology of the Drobytsky Yar’s victims, archival documents, as well as the memories of those few who managed to avoid death, and those who knew and remembered victims. As a Chairman of the “Drobytsky Yar” Committee of the Kharkov’s Oblast branch of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund and the deputy Chairman of the Public Committee “Drobytsky Yar”, P.P. Sokolsky gave all his energy to the cause of forever remembering the tragedy of Drobytsky Yar.
