Mémorial Babine Yar, Memorial site in Kyiv, Ukraine.

The memorial contains multiple monuments spread across a ravine, including a Menorah monument and wooden cross commemorating different victim groups.

German forces executed over 33,000 Jewish residents at this location on September 29-30, 1941, marking one of the largest single massacres during World War II.

Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko's 1961 work about Babi Yar influenced Dmitri Shostakovich to create his Symphony No. 13.

The memorial site spans several acres and includes informational panels in multiple languages detailing the events that occurred between 1941 and 1943.

Bone fragments from the original massacre site were transferred to a memorial at Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery in Israel, where annual ceremonies take place.
