Kiev, Ukraine (JTA) —
Several hundred Jews
gathered here last weekend
to commemorate the 52nd
anniversary of the mass ex-
ecution of the Jews of Kiev
at Babi Yar by the Nazis
during World War II.
Rabbi Yaakov Dov Bleich,
chief rabbi of Ukraine, said,
"The scene at Babi Yar
showed the barbarity of the
fascist regime, which had in-
tentions to kill every Jew
that they found.
"Though they shot tens of
thousands of Jews in Kiev,
the Jewish community in
Kiev still lives and has sur-
vived and stands as a living
confirmation of the words
`Am Yisrael Chai' (the peo-
ple of Israel live)," said
Rabbi Bleich.
Almost immediately after
the German occupation of
Kiev in 1941, a general an-
nouncement was made for
the Jews of the city to gather
on Sept. 29 at the Jewish
cemetery near Babi Yar, a
ravine on the outskirts of the
city.
During the next two days,
the Germans shot and killed
33,771 Jewish men, women
and children.
Recalling the scene, Maria
Greenberg, a survivor of
Babi Yar who spoke at the
commemoration, said, "They
told everyone to come to this
place, and when we arrived
they made us stand in line
while they started shooting
those in the front and
pushing the bodies into the
ravine.
"The only reason I surviv-
ed was that a Russian girl
grabbed me and took me to
the side with her. When the
Germans asked Who I was,
she said I was her sister.
Even though I did not look
anything like her, they let
me go, not recognizing that I
was a Jew," she said.
During the next two years
of the German occupation,
several thousand other peo-
ple — including Red Army
soldiers, Communists and a
large percentage of the
leadership of the Organiza-
tion of Ukrainian Nation-
alists — were shot at the site
and their bodies thrown into
the mass grave.
Shortly before the Soviet
army reconquered Kiev at
the end of 1943, the Ger-
mans tried to cover the
traces of the mass grave. In
the last several weeks before
the liberation, nearly all the
bodies were removed from
the ravine and burned, with
the remaining bones ground
into dust.
Despite the German efforts
to cover up the atrocities at
Babi Yar, their actions were
well documented. As a
result, the German com-
mander who authorized the
executions was sentenced to
death at the Nuremberg
trials in 1946 for crimes
against humanity.
After the war, the Soviet
government attempted to
cover the site by pumping
silt into the ravine from the
Dnieper River. In 1961, a
mud slide poured from the
ravine, killing several hun-
dred people and flooding the
residential neighborhood
surrounding the area.
That same year, Soviet
poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko
published Babi Yar. The
poem, which began with the
line "At Babi Yar there is no
monument," focused wide
attention, both in the Soviet
Union and abroad, on the
atrocities.
It was not until 1976 that
the first monument to the
victims of Babi Yar was
built, although not on the
actual site of the executions.
The monument also ignored
the fact that the most of the
people shot at Babi Yar were
Jews; the inscription re-
ferred to the victims only as
Soviet citizens.
In 1991, on the 50th an-
niversary of the mass
slaughter, a memorial me-
norah was established at the
site. George Bush, then U.S.
president, was among the
dignitaries attending the
dedication ceremony.
