"... 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. ...

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.

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.
