It is today 75 years ago that the 3-days massacre at Babi Yar started.
One of the photos touched me most is this one of a women with her children, waiting for the inevitable. How she must have felt?
This statement of a member of the Einsatzgruppe in front of a German court describes another horrible shooting but its very exemplary
"The Army had already dug a grave. The children were brought along in a half-track vehicle. I had nothing to do with this technical procedure. The Ukrainians were standing around trembling. The children were taken down from the vehicle. They were lined up along the top of the grave and shot so that they fell into it. They were shot where they were shot. They fell into the grave. The wailing was indescribable. I shall never forget the scene as long as I live. I find it very hard to bear. I particularly remember an incident with a small fair-haired girl, who took me by the hand. She, too, was shot later.
