- On September 29, 1941, on the eve of Yom Kippur, almost 34,000 Jewish citizens of Kyiv, Ukraine were forcibly rounded up and shot over two days at Babyn Yar, a ravine then on the outskirts of the city. More Jews were murdered in those two days than in any other single German massacre. Babyn Yar has since become a symbol of the “Holocaust by bullets” - shorthand for the mass shootings carried out in Eastern Europe that claimed the lives of over one-third of the victims of the Holocaust.
On the 79th anniversary of the massacre, historian Alti Rodal and strategist Berel Rodal reflected on the 1941 events, the suppression of memory and attempts at commemoration, and the resonance of Babyn Yar today. The program was moderated by Museum President & CEO Jack Kliger.
Heartbreaking to think about all of the deaths and massacres that they were successfully able to erase from history that no one will ever know about.
Extremely good upload. Having studied the Holocaust for over 20 years, this was extremely informative. Babyn Yar should definitiely be remembered, not forgotten. The number of people killed deserves better information about this part of the Holocaust for sure. Thanks for the upload, great work, most things I already know, but I learnt a lot more from this as well.
I'm so glad I saw this. Then you for your work. I have been doing extensive research on this location and am horrified. Absolutely horrified
Thank you for all the information you shared at this webinar. I'm reading the book 'The Holocaust' by Martin Gilbert and it also describes the massacre at Babyn Yar and many others. I was shocked to find out about all the war atrocities committed outside the concentration and death camps since like most common people I didn't know much on this topic. The book describes everything in detail and this video also helps understand what it was really like. Thank you once again.
Something about the middle aged, crying woman with the bloodied nose in her undergarments running in terror from pro-Nazi children reduces me to tears even now as an American non Jewish man living in the Midwest. I am broken psychologically by demonic children terrorizing, degrading, beating, torturing, chasing and ultimately murdering an entirely inoffensive, innocent woman, who probably thought they were cute kids before their evil acts against her. Shameful.
another lesson to take is that being extremely well educated doesn't not make you more moral or superior in anyway. everyone one of the einsatzgroups commanders had a doctorate degree except one who had two doctorate degrees (DR. Dr. Otto Reich).
Invaluable.
I have a copy and read the book Babi Yar by Anatoly Kuznetsov. It had a profound sense of sadness over one of the worst chapters in the history of human violence and degradation , and that we need to understand that without empathy and compassion human beings will be lost. I hope that we can learn and embrace that inclusion and not exclusion is the key to this world survival and in a way that is worth saving. I still believe it's possible.
This happening on Yom Kippur makes it even more horrifying and heartbreaking.
The Soviet Union held more trials than any other country they exicuted more people over crimes. It's important to point out the Soviet system did not encourage any religion it was not just Jews they banned most of them. And if it was not for the regular people villagers etc speaking up after the fall of the Soviet government we would not know as much as we do
The person who could have cured cancer and other diseases could be in one of those mass graves.
Man is capable of committing such heinous crimes against his brother...All for nothing. May God have mercy on our souls. Remember always. Forget never. Let your children learn about history so that such atrocities will never ever happen again. (As of this writing, Feb 2021 there are 2,833 views on this video---the number screams at the fact no one cares about the importance of history forgotten)
Thank you !
