Photos Show Babi Yar Massacre
JTA — A graphic photo exhibit chroni-
cling the Nazi massacre of Jews at Babi
Yar is on display at a meeting against
anti-Semitism in Canada.
The Interparliamentary Coalition
for Combating Anti-Semitism, held in
Ottawa through Tuesday, focused on
such issues as anti-Semitism, racism and
other forms of intolerance.
The Ukrainian delegation to the con-
ference, headed by Jewish lawmaker
Oleksandr Feldman, created the exhibit
"to remind the worldwide participants
that words and ideologies have conse-
quences, and in the case of the Holocaust,
resulted in the murder of six million
Jewish men, women and children in
Europe Feldman said.
Babi Yar, a ravine in Ukraine just out-
side Kiev, will commemorate the 70th
anniversary of the mass murder, in which
150,000 Jews were slaughtered over a
three-day period, next year.
Feldman is creating a museum to
record details of the massacre, and
one of its central goals will be to locate
and identify tens of unmarked mass
graves from the Nazi era in Ukraine and
Germany.
Among those participating in the sec-
ond gathering of the Interparliamentary
Coalition is Hannah Rosenthal, the top
U.S. official monitoring and combating
anti-Semitism.
The first gathering of the group, last
year in London, resulted in the "London
Declaration:' signed by lawmakers from
around the world who pledged to "affirm
democratic and human values, build
societies based on respect and citizen-
ship and combat any manifestations of
anti-Semitism and discrimination."
