Babyn Yar is one of the largest Jewish memory spots in Ukraine, located in a somewhat eccentric area of the city. It is in this place, in the «Babi Ravine», that 34 000 Jews were shot by the Nazis on 29 September 1941. In the next two years, tens of thousands of people were killed here, their corpses burned. Historians speak of more than 100 000 people killed, mainly Jews, supporters, soldiers of the Red Army and gypsies. The memorial has three monuments. The first is located in the southern part of the park and was erected in 1976, without mentioning the holocaust that was avoided speaking openly during the Soviet era. The second, a Jewish mennorah, dates back to 1991 and presents a text written in Hebrew, Russian and Ukrainian. In 2001, another monument was erected in memory of dead children in Babyn Yar and is not far from the Dorohozhychy metro. This place is not one of the traditionally cited tourist musts in Kiev. But, when we know how little the former USSR countries have looked at the duty of memory, we understand how significant and important this place is for Ukrainian Jewish memory.
