                                                                     Babi Yar

      Babi Yar is a ravine at the outskirts of Kiev. On September 29 - 30, 1941, more than 30,000 Jews were killed by machine gun at the hands of an SS mobile killing unit and Ukrainian volunteers. The ravine continued to be used for the execution of civilians and of Russian prisoners of war. At the end of the German occupation, Babi Yar had become a mass grave for over 100,000 people.   

      To help you get a good understanding of the catastrophe that occurred at Babi Yar there are two links provided in this section. One is an article describing the event. The second is a set of pictures of the massacre. SS troopers were forbidden from taking pictures but some did anyway. This is the origin of many photos such as you will see here.
