On September 30, 1941, 33,721 Jews were shot by invading Nazi troops and buried at Babi Yar ravine (near Kiev) Ukraine--the largest single massacre of World War II. Mass executions of civilians, mostly Jews and Roma people, continued there until 1943. By some estimates, 120,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar.
The Mizel Museum in Denver, Colorado, in partnership with the city and the Babi Yar Park Foundation, is leading the construction of a 27-acre memorial to those who lost their lives in these atrocities. The park is a peaceful place intended to reinforce our collective resolve that such horrors will never be repeated. See the Mizel Museum's website, http://www.mizelmuseum.org/Babi_Yar_Park.html
