Babi Yar is a ravine in Kyiv, Ukraine, where one of the most notorious mass executions during the Holocaust took place. In September 1941, Nazi German forces, along with collaborationist local authorities, killed approximately 33,771 Jewish men, women, and children over the course of just two days.

Today, Babi Yar serves as a memorial site honoring the victims and raising awareness of the horrors of genocide.
