Babyn Yar

On this day in 1941, 33,771 Jews were murdered over two days in Nazi occupied Ukraine. The Babyn Yar massacre was the largest killing of Jews outside of concentration camps and destroyed most of Kyiv’s Jewish population.

Using newly uncovered data, researchers pieced together the identities of 1,761 previously unknown victims.

The last time these victims’ names were spoken was likely moments before their deaths. Today, their names were read aloud and honored at a memorial marking the massacre’s anniversary.

Aka Babi Yar.
