Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War, Lavrska vul. 24, Kiev 01015 Ukraine
There was a time when Babi Yar was just a deep ravine on the outskirts of Kiev. Occupying German forces changed all that September 1941 when they ordered 35000 of Kiev’s Jewish residents to gather their belongings and march to Babi Yar. Thinking they would be transported to another location, they did as they were told lined up along the ravine where Nazi firing squads proceeded to execute them. Their bodies were thrown into the ravine below. Throughout the Nazi occupation of Kiev, Babi Yar was used for mass killings. In all, over 100000 people including partisans and members of the underground, but mostly Jews, were killed here. In 1991, a monument was erected near the site. Excursion is provided with visiting to the Museum of the World War II.
Duration: 2 hours
