Babi Yar (
Ukrainian: Бабин яр, Babyn yar;
Russian: Бабий яр, Babiy yar) is a
ravine in
Kiev, the capital of
Ukraine. In the course of two days, September 29—30, 1941,
German Nazis aided by
their collaborators murdered 33,771
Jewish civilians. The Babi Yar massacre is considered to be "the largest single massacre in the history of
the Holocaust."In the months that followed, thousands more were seized and taken to Babi Yar where they were shot. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people, mostly civilians, of whom a significant number were Jews, were executed by the Nazis there during the
Second World War.
