"As #Russia continues to pound #Ukrainian cities, #archivists are working underground daily to rescue and record #Jewish #history—page by page, name by name. According to former Jewish Agency chairman #NatanSharansky, who today serves as chairman of the #BabynYar #Holocaust Memorial Center (#BYHMC), the effort to digitize millions of Jewish records linked to #BabiYar has become a race against time.

“There are more than 20 million #documents,” Sharansky told JNS in an interview at the #Jerusalem Media Hub on Dec. 23. “We’ve already digitized nine million—during the war, under fire.”

“These documents are in the last moments of their life,” he added. “If we don’t save them now, they will be lost forever.”

"The Ukrainian Volunteer Army, created on the basis of the far-right nationalist organization 'Right Sector,' uses the memory of Babyn Yar to promote the fake story about '621' members of the OUN allegedly shot by the Nazis at Babyn Yar.

At the same time, the number of Jewish victims is not mentioned at all, even though this was one of the largest anti-Jewish massacres in the Holocaust."

ntv mobil: Der Massenmord von Babyn Jar https://www.n-tv.de/22819752

33.000 vor allem Frauen und Kinder systematisch erschossen

Gut, daran zu erinnern @ntv2019 , so genau wusste ich nicht mehr oder noch nie, wie grauenhaft das war.

Lesenswert aus dem Anlass:

"Dies war das größte einzelne Massaker an Juden im Zweiten Weltkrieg, an dem das Heer der Wehrmacht nicht nur mitverantwortlich war, sondern die Aktion direkt forcierte."

#Ukraine commemorates 83rd anniversary of Babyn Yar tragedy

Zelensky saying that it is a “terrifying symbol” of what can happen when the world “lacks the determination to stand up against evil.”

The #BabynYar tragedy was a mass murder of nearly 34,000 #Jews by #Nazi forces over two days in September 1941, near Kyiv, as part of the #Holocaust.

Estimates put the total #death toll, which also includes #Soviet prisoners of war and the #Romani people, at over 100,000.
