Summary:

This monograph by Victoria Khiterer examines the history and legacy of the Babyn Yar massacre, one of the most devastating atrocities of the Holocaust, where thousands of Jews and other victims were murdered by the Nazi regime in Kyiv during World War II. The book delves into the experiences of Kyivan Jews during the interwar period, the massacre itself, its aftermath, and the broader impact on Kyiv’s Jewish community. It also explores anti-Semitism in postwar Soviet Ukraine, the struggle to preserve the memory of Babyn Yar, and its commemoration in independent Ukraine. Drawing on extensive archival research and personal accounts, the author seeks to honor the victims and shed light on the challenges of Holocaust remembrance. The work is intended for scholars, students, and readers interested in Holocaust studies, Jewish history, and Eastern European history. Generated by AI.
