Babi Yar Memorial Hit by Russian Rockets

Babi Yar today


Babi Yar 1941


It appears that the Babi Yar Memorial, located in a park at the edge of Kiev,  has been hit with Russian rockets. Babi Yar was a ravine in which Germans and their Ukrainian auxiliaries massacred over 33,000 Jews in 1941. I have visited the memorial and it is deeply saddening that this site has been hit whether intentionally or as collateral damage. Of course, the loss of massive numbers of civilian lives is more important than the damage to what is essentially a graveyard for the 33,000+ victims still buried there, but it is still deeply saddening. 

If this was intentional, it further condemns Putin and his followers and calls into serious question the fate of over 100,000 Jews still reading in Ukraine.
