A German Einsatzgruppen soldier talks to
two unidentified women at the top of the Babi Yar ravine
The 80th anniversary of the Babi Yar massacre is marked this week.
The
event, in which Nazis and Ukrainian collaborators murdered 33,771 Jews,
took place on Sept. 29-30, 1941, on the eve of Yom Kippur.
As if that
atrocity was not bad enough, for many years Nazis and then Soviets added
insult to injury by actively trying to destroy any evidence that could
attest to these horrors.
