We have developed a resource to highlight the activities of the Holocaust Memorial Center "Babyn Yar" - a non-profit educational organization designed to document and commemorate the Holocaust, in particular the Babyn Yar mass shootings of September 1941.
Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial charity fund is a nongovernmental organization that is attempting to build an educational, documentation, and memorial centre to commemorate the tragic events of September, 1941.

The Centre actively communicates with its visitors, organizes numerous conferences and events. To optimize the work of the personnel of the Centre, we have created numerous feedback forms, event accreditation request forms, and other applications that are processed in the single fdForge system.
Having realized the primary version of the system within a short time-frame of 3 months, we continued working on the system. We have analysed user behaviour, simplified and shortened the introductory page, changed the news mechanics to improve the publishing process and their perception.
