Novosti Reports Babi Yar Plaque
Has Been Installed at Massacre Site
The USSR Embassy's press de-
partment this week submitted to
The Jewish News a report from its
Novosti Press Agency (APN)
which maintains that a marble
plaque announcing plans to erect
a monument honoring the Babi Yar
martyrs has been installed
on the site w h e r e anywhere
from 60,000 to 200,000 Jews were
murdered by the Nazis. The exact
figure of the number of martyrs
varies in numerous quotations.
The Novosti report from Kiev
follows.
"S. Rabinovich. a special cor-
respondent of APN, reports from
Kiev that a large marble plaque
has been ceremoniously installed
in the center of Babi Yar. The in-
scription reads: 'A monument to
the Soviet people, victims of fas-
cism in the years of the temporary
occupation of Kiev in 1941-1943,
will be put up here.'
"Thousands of Kievites came to
pay homage to the dead. When the
marble plaque was unveiled, An-
ton Palchomov, chairman of the
executive committee of the Soviet
of Deputies of Kiev's Shevchenko
district, opened the meeting.
" 'In the years of the fascist oc-
cupation,' he said, the sufferings
of the population of our city were
boundless—every third Kievite met
a martyr's death. Kiev lay in ruins
—its streets were mutilated beyond
recognition.
" 'In the past 23 years, we have
not only healed our wounds but
built new beautiful streets, ave-
nues and whole neighborhoods. But
we shall never forget Babi Yar
and the neightma.rish crime the

Nazi butchers committed here. We
remember you, the martyrs of Babi
Yar! We shall do all so that the
Babi Yar tragedy should never
happen again.'
"Nikolai Kiyanitsa, a Ukrainian,
a worker of the cable factory, said
with what sadism the Nazis de-
stroyed the Jewish population of
the city, Soviet prisoners of war,
partisans, civilians of the Ukrain-
ian, Russian and other nationali-
ties.
"Leonid Bernshtein, the former
commander of a partisan unit, now
a factory director, said: 'Here . in
Babi Yar, every inch of the soil
is drenched in the blood of our
near and dear ones, scores of
thousands of innocent people—old
men, women and children. We say
again and again: we shall never
forget and never forgive. Those
guilty of the tragedy of Babi Yar
and many other Nazi death camps
should fully answer for their
crimes. This should be done in the
name of the future of our children.'
"The meeting is over. To the
sounds of a funeral march the
delegations of the state and pub-
lic organizations lay wreaths at the
foot of the marble plaque.
"Soon a veritable hill of fresh
flowers was heaped up there."
