The mass shootings in the Babyn Yar ravine began 85 years ago. Backed by the Wehrmacht, members of the SS and the police murdered over 33,000 Jews within two days. The Nazis killed about 100,000 people there in total. The victims also included Sinti and Roma, Soviet POW, and alleged partisans. #otd
