The process of researching and relocating remains

Currently, 299 remains have been found, but there are still two mass graves and several burials left. The exhumation and research work started on May 1 and is being conducted by the Memorial Search Center 'Dolia' with the permission of the Ministry of Culture. All found remains and gravestones will be transferred to the Holoski Cemetery.

Future plans and actions

Two entrance columns at the memorial have been dismantled, and the metal garlands along with the 'eternal flame' structure will be handed over to the 'Territory of Terror' museum. After the completion of the exhumation and geological studies, a decision will be made regarding the further arrangement of the memorial based on consultations with the public.

Thanks to the continuation of exhumation and research work on the Hill of Glory in Lviv, the historical truth about the tragic events of the past has a chance to be restored and honored, and the memory of the victims of totalitarian regimes preserved for future generations.
