| A woman reacts as she participates in a ceremony marking 70 years since the murder of the Jews in Ukraine, including the massacres at Babi Yar and adjacent areas, at the Hall of Remembrance at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, on October 6, 2011. 70 years ago this week, 33,771 Jews were murdered in Babi Yar, near Kiev. As the German army advanced eastward in the fall of 1941 during World War II, similar mass murders of Jews took place throughout the region during this period. |
