EVERYBODY HAS HIS
OWN BABIY YAR
Any project to commemorate Babiy Yar's tragedy will cause storm of criticism. Since for hundreds of thousands, even for millions of people - this is their nearest's grave.
CHRISTIAN AND
JUDAIC DIALOGUE
Anti-Semitism is older than Christianity, but to neglect anti-Jewish charge in New Testament and church practice means to consciously sin against truth.

All Jews of this town were sent to camps for extermination. Before sending them there, the Jews were driven to the market square and made sitting motionlessly under the burning sky.

Among the killed there were many children for whom it was difficult to sit motionless. Read
