Today, Ukraine observes the memorial day for the victims of the Babyn Yar tragedy. This site has become a symbol of unimaginable sorrow and brutality, as Nazis executed tens of thousands of people - Jews, Ukrainians, and Romani.
The tragedy of Babyn Yar is not just a page in history; it serves as a reminder of the horrific cost of hatred and intolerance. In remembering the fallen, we assert 'never again' and reaffirm our collective promise: such atrocities must not happen again.
Odesa, alongside the entire country, bows its head in memory of the innocently slain.
In connection with the anniversary, a flower-laying ceremony took place in Prokhorovskyi Square in Odesa at the monument to Holocaust victims and ghetto prisoners.
May their memories be eternal for all who perished at Babyn Yar.
