Memorial site launched at Babi Yar killing ground

The former Soviet Union covered up this horrible mass murder against humanity!

"... As many as 150,000 people – Ukrainians, Roma, Soviets and the physically and mentally disabled – were murdered over a longer period, making it Europe’s largest mass grave. ...
The Soviet regime under Stalin then added another layer of criminality by trying to erase the memory of what happened at Babyn Yar (Babi Yar in Russian), suppressing the terrible plight of the Jews because of the complicity of some of its own citizens in the shootings. ...
In his speech at the ceremony Herzog said: “On the soil of Ukraine, for centuries there flourished one of the greatest and most important Jewish communities in the world ...
The memorial site stretches over a 150-hectare area and includes two current exhibits, “Crystal Wall of Crying” by conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic and “Mirror Field”: a large platform with a shiny metal floor and 10 chrome-plated pillars riddled with bullet holes of the same caliber as those that the murderers used in their weapons. A wooden synagogue that can be folded shut like a book is also on the site. ...
Earlier on Wednesday [10/6/2021], the Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center (BYHMC) released the testimonies of 159 of some of the perpetrators of the shootings, including one by Nazi soldier Viktor Trill, who recounted: “It is possible that on this day I shot between 150 and 250 Jews. The whole shooting went off without incident. The Jews were resigned to their fate like lambs. After we got out, first we were given alcohol. It was grog or rum. I then saw a gigantic ditch [ravine] that looked like a dried-out riverbed. In it were several layers of corpses. ...
Due to the Nazis’ meticulous documentation, the number of Jews shot dead at the Babyn Yar ravine by Einsatzgruppen troops and their collaborators in those 48 hours at the end of September 1941 is known. Later, in order to remove the evidence, the Nazis used slaves who, over a period of some two months, unearthed the bodies, which were taken away and burned."
