Babi Yar

Ravine near Kiev, Ukraine, where more than 100,000 people (80,000 of whom were Jews, the remainder being Poles, Russians, and Ukrainians) were murdered by the Nazis in 1941. The site was ignored until the Soviet poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko wrote a poem called ‘Babi Yar’ (1961) in protest at plans for a sports centre on the site.

Babi Yar is also the name of a symphony (No. 13) by Soviet composer Dmitry Shostakovich.
