Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday marked the 83rd anniversary of a Nazi massacre of more than 30,000 Jewish people at the Babyn Yar ravine near Kyiv in 1941.
It was the largest massacre by the Germans and their local collaborators of Jewish people in Ukraine during World War II.
“Babyn Yar is a terrifying symbol, showing that the most heinous crimes occur when the world chooses to ignore, remain silent, stay indifferent, and lacks the determination to stand up against evil,” Zelensky, who is himself Jewish, said on social media site X.
